More quotes by 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
Looking for pleasure is the best way to ensure you won't find it.
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
I think the best way to waste time is to try to save time.

Francoise Sagan
Curiosity is the beginning of all wisdom.
Francoise Sagan

Francoise Sagan

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
Nothing brings on jealousy like laughter.
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
No one, but no one, ever behaves 'well' in bed unless they love or are loved - two conditions seldom fulfilled.
Francoise Sagan
Houses are for private living, for friends, and for dogs.
Francoise Sagan
People respect unhappiness and find it especially hard to forgive success.
Francoise Sagan
At night, time becomes a calm sea. It goes on for ever.
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.
