You should celebrate the end ...

You should celebrate the end of a love affair as they celebrate death in New Orleans, with songs, laughter, dancing and a lot of wine.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

Art must take reality by surp...

Art must take reality by surprise. It takes those moments which are for us merely a moment, plus a moment, plus another moment, and arbitrarily transforms them into a special series of moments held together by a major emotion.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

I don't think there's any int...

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.

If you don't have imagination...

If you don't have imagination you're lost. But it's a virtue that's becoming increasingly rare, especially in its higher form: spontaneity. Mad, happy spontaneity.

People respect unhappiness and find it especially hard to forgive success.

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.

A love affair based on jealou...

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 95 quotes

For what are we looking for i...

For what are we looking for if not to please? I do not know if the desire to attract others comes from a superabundance of vitality, possessiveness, or the hidden, unspoken need to be reassured.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

He refused categorically all ...

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.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

Money may not buy happiness, ...

Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.

curiosity is the beginning of wisdom.

If you treat life well, life ...

If you treat life well, life is usually good to you. And I love life. There's a long-standing affair between us.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

No one ever has time to exami...

No one ever has time to examine himself honestly, and most people look no further than their neighbors' eyes, in which they may see their own reflection.

Every time I see a film about...

Every time I see a film about Joan of Arc I'm convinced she'll get away with it. It's the only way to get through life.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

To jealousy, nothing is more ...

To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.

After Proust, there are certain things that simply cannot be done again. He marks off for you the boundaries of your talent.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

Writing is a question of find...

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.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

I dreamt of being a writer on...

I dreamt of being a writer once I started to read. I started to write 'Bonjour Tristesse' in bistros around the Sorbonne. I finished it, I sent it to editors. It was accepted.

Francoise Sagan 95 quotes

It seems to me that there are...

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.

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.
