More quotes by Francoise Sagan

Francoise Sagan
What you call types of mind are only mental ages.

Only by pursuing the extremes in one's nature, with all its contradictions, appetites, aversions, rages, can one hope to understand a little - oh, I admit only a very little - of what life is about.
Francoise Sagan
It isn't common sense that is paramount in this world, it's wishful thinking.
Francoise Sagan
I had a strong desire to write and some free time.
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
Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance.
Francoise Sagan
Illness is the opposite of freedom. It makes everything impossible.
Francoise Sagan
The rich have a passion for bargains as lively as it is pointless.
Francoise Sagan
