Francoise Sagan
I've read Proust and Stendhal. That keeps you in your place.
Francoise Sagan
curiosity is the beginning of wisdom.
Francoise Sagan
Houses are for private living, for friends, and for dogs.
Francoise Sagan
No one, but no one, ever behaves 'well' in bed unless they love or are loved - two conditions seldom fulfilled.
Francoise Sagan

For me writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz.
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
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.
