More quotes by Francoise Sagan
The rich have a passion for bargains as lively as it is pointless.
Francoise Sagan

Francoise Sagan
The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.
Francoise Sagan
Writing is just having a sheet of paper, a pen and not a shadow of an idea of what you are going to say.
Francoise Sagan
I think the best way to waste time is to try to save time.
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
Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.
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
Looking for pleasure is the best way to ensure you won't find it.
Francoise Sagan
Curiosity is the beginning of all wisdom.
Francoise Sagan
Whisky, gambling and Ferraris are better than housework.
Francoise Sagan
At night, time becomes a calm sea. It goes on for ever.
Francoise Sagan
In love, as in finance, only the rich can get credit.
