Francoise Sagan
To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.
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
Every little girl knows about love. It is only her capacity to suffer because of it that increases.
Francoise Sagan
A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off of you.
Francoise Sagan

Francoise Sagan
