I have loved to the point of madness That which is called madness, That which to me, Is the only sensible way to love.
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.

Francoise Sagan
Usually I avoided college students, whom I considered brutal, wrapped up in themselves, particularly in their youth, in which they found material for drama or an excuse for their own boredom. I did not care for young people.
Francoise Sagan
It isn't common sense that is paramount in this world, it's wishful thinking.
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
My love of pleasure seems to be the only consistent side of my character. Is it because I have not read enough?
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
Houses are for private living, for friends, and for dogs.
Francoise Sagan
For me writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz.
Francoise Sagan
I've read Proust and Stendhal. That keeps you in your place.
Francoise Sagan
At night, time becomes a calm sea. It goes on for ever.

Every time I see a film about Joan of Arc I'm convinced she'll get away with it. It's the only way to get through life.
