Françoise Sagan


1. ”A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to want to take it off you.”
2. ”Art must take reality by surprise.”
3. "Every little girl knows about love. It is only her capacity to suffer because of it that increases."
4. “I have loved to the point of madness; that which is called madness, that which to me, is the only sensible way to love.”
5. 'I like men to behave like men - strong and childish.'
6. "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."
7. "Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal."
8. “The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.”
9. “To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.”
