Francoise Sagan
I've tried very hard and I've never found any resemblance between the people I know and the people in my novels.
Francoise Sagan
I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live.
Francoise Sagan
Life has confirmed for me the thoughts and impressions I had when I was 18, as if it was all intuition.
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
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
Curiosity is the beginning of all wisdom.
