More quotes by Francoise Sagan
It seems to me that there are two kinds of trickery: the fronts people assume before one another's eyes, and the front a writer puts on the face of reality.
Francoise Sagan
I had a strong desire to write and some free time.
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
Looking for pleasure is the best way to ensure you won't find it.
Francoise Sagan
It amused me to think that one can tell the truth when one is drunk and nobody will believe it.
Francoise Sagan
Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
Francoise Sagan
I did not find him absurd. I saw he was kind, that he was on the verge of real love. I thought it would be nice for me to be in love with him, too.
Francoise Sagan
It would be bad form for me to describe people I don't know and don't understand.
Francoise Sagan
If you treat life well, life is usually good to you. And I love life. There's a long-standing affair between us.
Francoise Sagan
A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off of you.
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
Unhappiness has nothing to teach, and resignation is ugly.
Francoise Sagan
The rich have a passion for bargains as lively as it is pointless.
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
I like men to behave like men. I like them strong and childish.
Francoise Sagan
Whisky, gambling and Ferraris are better than housework.
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
No one, but no one, ever behaves 'well' in bed unless they love or are loved - two conditions seldom fulfilled.
Francoise Sagan
Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance.
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
