I like men to behave like men⁠—strong and childish.

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

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.

Looking for pleasure is the best way to ensure you won’t find it.

The happiness of people who are in love and who are loved shows in their faces. They have an expression that’s at once very far away and very much part of the present.

It isn’t common sense that is paramount in this world, it’s wishful thinking.

All my life, I will continue obstinately to write about love, solitude and passion among the kind of people I know. The rest don’t interest me.

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

The happiness of others is never bearable for very long...
