“I, like you, have tried with all my might to fight forgetfulness. Like you, I have forgotten. Like you, I have wanted to have an inconsolable memory, a memory of shadows and stone. I have struggled every day, with all my might, against the horror of not completely understanding the reason behind remembering. Like you, I have forgotten. Why deny the evident need for memory?”
Marguerite Duras, from Hiroshima Mon Amour, directed by Alain Resnais (Pathé Films, 1959)
