More quotes by Francoise Sagan
I was thinking that I should be content to kiss him until the break of day. Bertrand ran out of kisses too soon desire made them superfluous in his eyes. They were only a stage on the road to pleasure, not something inexhaustible and self-sufficient, as Luc had revealed them to me.

Writing is just having a sheet of paper, a pen and not a shadow of an idea of what you are going to say.
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.

Illness is the opposite of freedom. It makes everything impossible.
Francoise Sagan
I don't think there's any intrinsic difference between a lover and a husband. ... If I were cynical, I would say that a woman should have both a good husband and a lover. But I'm not cynical so I'll just say that a woman should have a lover who's a good husband and a husband who's a good lover, perhaps both.
Francoise Sagan
The rich have a passion for bargains as lively as it is pointless.
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
My love of pleasure seems to be the only consistent side of my character. Is it because I have not read enough?
Francoise Sagan
I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live.
Francoise Sagan
When man, Apollo man, rockets into space, it isn't in order to find his brother, I'm quite sure of that. It's to confirm that he hasn't any brothers.
Francoise Sagan
The happiness of others is never bearable for very long.
Francoise Sagan
I did not find him absurd. I saw he was kind, that he was on the verge of real love. I thought it would be nice for me to be in love with him, too.
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.
