More quotes by Francoise Sagan
The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.
Francoise Sagan
He lifted me up and held me close against him, my head on his shoulder. At that moment I loved him. In the morning light he was as golden, as soft, as gentle as myself, and he would protect me.
Francoise Sagan
Art must take reality by surprise.
Francoise Sagan
What you call types of mind are only mental ages.

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

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
I like men to behave like men. I like them strong and childish.
Francoise Sagan
The happiness of others is never bearable for very long.
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
To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.
Francoise Sagan
In love, as in finance, only the rich can get credit.
Francoise Sagan
You should celebrate the end of a love affair as they celebrate death in New Orleans, with songs, laughter, dancing and a lot of wine.
Francoise Sagan
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
pity is an agreeable sentiment, uplifting like military music.
