More quotes by Francoise Sagan
For what are we looking for if not to please? I do not know if the desire to attract others comes from a superabundance of vitality, possessiveness, or the hidden, unspoken need to be reassured.
Francoise Sagan
The rich have a passion for bargains as lively as it is pointless.
Francoise Sagan
I had a strong desire to write and some free time.
Francoise Sagan
I was thinking that I should be content to kiss him until the break of day. Bertrand ran out of kisses too soon desire made them superfluous in his eyes. They were only a stage on the road to pleasure, not something inexhaustible and self-sufficient, as Luc had revealed them to me.

Francoise Sagan
It seems to me that there are two kinds of trickery: the fronts people assume before one another's eyes, and the front a writer puts on the face of reality.
Francoise Sagan

Francoise Sagan
Love is worth whatever it costs.
Francoise Sagan

Francoise Sagan
At night, time becomes a calm sea. It goes on for ever.
Francoise Sagan
Unhappiness has nothing to teach, and resignation is ugly.
Francoise Sagan
Usually I avoided college students, whom I considered brutal, wrapped up in themselves, particularly in their youth, in which they found material for drama or an excuse for their own boredom. I did not care for young people.
Francoise Sagan
You should celebrate the end of a love affair as they celebrate death in New Orleans, with songs, laughter, dancing and a lot of wine.
Francoise Sagan
I don't think there's any intrinsic difference between a lover and a husband. ... If I were cynical, I would say that a woman should have both a good husband and a lover. But I'm not cynical so I'll just say that a woman should have a lover who's a good husband and a husband who's a good lover, perhaps both.
Francoise Sagan
happiness has always seemed to me a great achievement.
