Francoise Sagan
Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.

Francoise Sagan
Unhappiness has nothing to teach, and resignation is ugly.
Francoise Sagan
Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
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
Love is worth whatever it costs.
Francoise Sagan
There is no such thing as an ideal man. The ideal man is the man you love at the moment.
Francoise Sagan
Illness is the opposite of freedom. It makes everything impossible.
Francoise Sagan
I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live.
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
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
It isn't common sense that is paramount in this world, it's wishful thinking.
Francoise Sagan
