More quotes by Francoise Sagan
At night, time becomes a calm sea. It goes on for ever.
Francoise Sagan
He refused categorically all ideas of fidelity or serious commitments. He explained that they were arbitrary and sterile. From anyone else such views would have shocked me, but I knew that in his case they did not exclude tenderness and devotion - feelings which came all the more easily to him since he was determined that they should be transient.
Francoise Sagan
I don't think there's any intrinsic difference between a lover and a husband. ... If I were cynical, I would say that a woman should have both a good husband and a lover. But I'm not cynical so I'll just say that a woman should have a lover who's a good husband and a husband who's a good lover, perhaps both.

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
Unhappiness has nothing to teach, and resignation is ugly.
Francoise Sagan
It amused me to think that one can tell the truth when one is drunk and nobody will believe it.
Francoise Sagan
Looking for pleasure is the best way to ensure you won't find it.
Francoise Sagan
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
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
happiness has always seemed to me a great achievement.
Francoise Sagan
It would be bad form for me to describe people I don't know and don't understand.
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
It isn't common sense that is paramount in this world, it's wishful thinking.
Francoise Sagan
