Every time I see a film about Joan of Arc I'm convinced she'll get away with it. It's the only way to get through life.
Francoise Sagan
It would be bad form for me to describe people I don't know and don't understand.
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
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
Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance.
