“The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.”
― Françoise Sagan

“The questions I would have liked to ask people were: ‘Are you in love? What are you reading?”
― Françoise Sagan, A Certain Smile

“But don't forget who you really are. And I'm not talking about your so-called real name. All names are made up by someone else, even the one your parents gave you.
  You know who you really are. When you're alone at night, looking up at the stars, or maybe lying in your bed in total darkness, you know that nameless person inside you.
  Your life is about to be ripped apart. You will be turned into a digging machine. Your muscles will toughen. So will your heart and soul. That's necessary for survival. But don't lose touch with that person deep inside you, or else you won't really have survived at all.”
― Louis Sachar, Stanley Yelnats' Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake

“My love of pleasure seems to be the only consistent side of my character. Is it because I have not read enough?”
― Francoise Sagan, Bonjour Tristesse
