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
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.

Life has confirmed for me the thoughts and impressions I had when I was 18, as if it was all intuition.
Francoise Sagan
Houses are for private living, for friends, and for dogs.
Francoise Sagan
Illness is the opposite of freedom. It makes everything impossible.
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
There is no such thing as an ideal man. The ideal man is the man you love at the moment.
Francoise Sagan
Love is worth whatever it costs.
Francoise Sagan
I did not find him absurd. I saw he was kind, that he was on the verge of real love. I thought it would be nice for me to be in love with him, too.
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.
