Francoise Sagan
It amused me to think that one can tell the truth when one is drunk and nobody will believe it.
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.

Francoise Sagan
A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off of you.
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.
