Francoise Sagan
A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off of you.
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
It isn't common sense that is paramount in this world, it's wishful thinking.
Francoise Sagan
pity is an agreeable sentiment, uplifting like military music.
Francoise Sagan
Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance.
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.
