Francoise Sagan

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 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.
Francoise Sagan
I've tried very hard and I've never found any resemblance between the people I know and the people in my novels.
