More quotes by Francoise Sagan
The happiness of others is never bearable for very long.
Francoise Sagan
Whisky, gambling and Ferraris are better than housework.
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 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
A love affair based on jealousy is doomed from the start ... It is certanly a sign of love, but it's a sign that it's already dying.
Francoise Sagan
In love, as in finance, only the rich can get credit.

It isn't common sense that is paramount in this world, it's wishful thinking.
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
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
The rich have a passion for bargains as lively as it is pointless.
Francoise Sagan
Unhappiness has nothing to teach, and resignation is ugly.
Francoise Sagan
I've tried very hard and I've never found any resemblance between the people I know and the people in my novels.
Francoise Sagan
Passion is the salt of life, and that at the times when we are under its spell this salt is indispensable to us, even if we have got along very well without it before.
Francoise Sagan
I think the best way to waste time is to try to save time.
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
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
Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.
Francoise Sagan
I've read Proust and Stendhal. That keeps you in your place.
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.

What you call types of mind are only mental ages.
