Françoise Sagan

Bonjour, Tristesse

“As humans grow older, they often develop skin discolorations. Old books do too. It’s called foxing. The name, first recorded in the middle of the nineteenth century, comes from the observations that it looked as if a fox with muddy paws had trampled across the page."

—Margaret Rosenberg and Bern Marcowitz
