Francoise Sagan

"Art must take reality by surprise."

"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."

"To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter."

"Marriage? It's like asparagus eaten with vinaigrette or hollandaise, a matter of taste but of no importance."

"A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off of you."
