More quotes by 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
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
Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance.
Francoise Sagan
If you don't have imagination you're lost. But it's a virtue that's becoming increasingly rare, especially in its higher form: spontaneity. Mad, happy spontaneity.

Francoise Sagan
When man, Apollo man, rockets into space, it isn't in order to find his brother, I'm quite sure of that. It's to confirm that he hasn't any brothers.
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
Passion is the salt of life, and that at the times when we are under its spell this salt is indispensable to us, even if we have got along very well without it before.
Francoise Sagan
Writing is just having a sheet of paper, a pen and not a shadow of an idea of what you are going to say.
Francoise Sagan
The rich have a passion for bargains as lively as it is pointless.
Francoise Sagan
At night, time becomes a calm sea. It goes on for ever.
Francoise Sagan
It would be bad form for me to describe people I don't know and don't understand.
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
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
happiness has always seemed to me a great achievement.
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
My love of pleasure seems to be the only consistent side of my character. Is it because I have not read enough?
Francoise Sagan
No one, but no one, ever behaves 'well' in bed unless they love or are loved - two conditions seldom fulfilled.
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
