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
curiosity is the beginning of wisdom.
Francoise Sagan
He refused categorically all ideas of fidelity or serious commitments. He explained that they were arbitrary and sterile. 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
My love of pleasure seems to be the only consistent side of my character. Is it because I have not read enough?
