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
There is no such thing as an ideal man. The ideal man is the man you love at the moment.
Francoise Sagan
Whisky, gambling and Ferraris are better than housework.
Francoise Sagan
pity is an agreeable sentiment, uplifting like military music.
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
