Quote by Marguerite Duras
To love one child and to love all children, whether living or dead --somewhere these two loves come together. To love a no-good but humble punk and to love an honest man who believes himself to be an honest man --somewhere these, too, come together.
Summary
This quote suggests that there is a common ground within love. It implies that the act of loving a single child and having a universal love for all children, including those who have passed away, unite in the essence of love. Similarly, the quote implies that loving both a seemingly unworthy and humble individual, as well as a self-proclaimed honest person, also find a point of convergence within love. Ultimately, it implies that love transcends specific circumstances or judgments, connecting and encompassing various forms of love.
