Francoise Sagan
The happiness of others is never bearable for very long.
Francoise Sagan
I like men to behave like men. I like them strong and childish.
Francoise Sagan
At night, time becomes a calm sea. It goes on for ever.
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.
Francoise Sagan
Life has confirmed for me the thoughts and impressions I had when I was 18, as if it was all intuition.
