Lawrence Durrell quotes about
adults realisation
The realisation of one's own death is the point at which one becomes adult.

Sorrow is implicit in love as gravitation is implicit in mass.
opposites matter pleasure
You see, nothing matters except pleasure - which is the opposite of happiness, its tragic part, I expect.
love men letters
A woman's best love letters are always written to the man she is betraying.
truth telling-the-truth disappear
Truth disappears with the telling of it.
funny death trying
I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.
stars healing body
What are stars but points in the body of God where we insert the healing needles of our terror and longing?
memories raw-materials daily-work
How grudging memory is, and how bitterly she clutches the raw material of her daily work.
pain self doe
There is no pain compared to that of loving a woman who makes her body accessible to one and yet who is incapable of delivering her true self -- because she does not know where to find it.
