Francoise Sagan
Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.
Francoise Sagan
If you treat life well, life is usually good to you. And I love life. There's a long-standing affair between us.
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
Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance.
Francoise Sagan
Life has confirmed for me the thoughts and impressions I had when I was 18, as if it was all intuition.
