Francoise Sagan
Every little girl knows about love. It is only her capacity to suffer because of it that increases.
Francoise Sagan

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.
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.
