More quotes by Francoise Sagan

Francoise Sagan
I dreamt of being a writer once I started to read. I started to write 'Bonjour Tristesse' in bistros around the Sorbonne. I finished it, I sent it to editors. It was accepted.
Francoise Sagan
Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.
Francoise Sagan
pity is an agreeable sentiment, uplifting like military music.
Francoise Sagan
It amused me to think that one can tell the truth when one is drunk and nobody will believe it.
