More quotes by Francoise Sagan
Love is worth whatever it costs.
Francoise Sagan
My love of pleasure seems to be the only consistent side of my character. Is it because I have not read enough?
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
He refused categorically all ideas of fidelity or serious commitments. He explained that they were arbitrary and sterile. From anyone else such views would have shocked me, but I knew that in his case they did not exclude tenderness and devotion - feelings which came all the more easily to him since he was determined that they should be transient.
Francoise Sagan
It isn't common sense that is paramount in this world, it's wishful thinking.
Francoise Sagan
A love affair based on jealousy is doomed from the start ... It is certanly a sign of love, but it's a sign that it's already dying.
Francoise Sagan
To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.
Francoise Sagan
curiosity is the beginning of wisdom.
Francoise Sagan
I like men to behave like men. I like them strong and childish.
Francoise Sagan
When you make a decision to write according to a set schedule and really stick to it, you find yourself writing very fast. At least I do.
Francoise Sagan
I think the best way to waste time is to try to save time.
Francoise Sagan
I've read Proust and Stendhal. That keeps you in your place.
Francoise Sagan
Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.
Francoise Sagan
A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off of you.
Francoise Sagan
No one, but no one, ever behaves 'well' in bed unless they love or are loved - two conditions seldom fulfilled.
Francoise Sagan
I did not find him absurd. I saw he was kind, that he was on the verge of real love. I thought it would be nice for me to be in love with him, too.
Francoise Sagan
Only by pursuing the extremes in one's nature, with all its contradictions, appetites, aversions, rages, can one hope to understand a little - oh, I admit only a very little - of what life is about.
Francoise Sagan
The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.
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
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
