More quotes by Emily Giffin
My wants are simple: a job that I like and a guy whom I love.
Emily Giffin
Sure, we were friends who exchanged soulful glances, friends who slept in a bed filled with sexual tension, friends who found any excuse to touch, but I worried that we'd never take that perilous leap of faith toward becoming a real couple, a permanent team.
Emily Giffin
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors.

We both have a lot of growing-up to do... A lot of the world to see & figure out on our own. -- Leo
Emily Giffin
She wonders what fool ever said that it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all - she has never disagreed with something so much.
Emily Giffin
We are in love and meant to be together.
Emily Giffin
I think of how life takes unexpected twists and turns, sometimes through sheer happenstance, sometimes through calculated decisions. In the end, it can all be called fate, but to me, it is more a matter of faith.
Emily Giffin
I always find something in common with my protagonist, particularly when I write in the first person.
Emily Giffin
My relationship with my sister is so central to my life. She's my closest friend, my biggest supporter, and I know she would say the same about me.
Emily Giffin
What if two people want to be your partner, then what?
Emily Giffin
Then he asks if he can kiss me. It is a question I don’t usually like. Just do it, I always think.
Emily Giffin
There are two kinds of women--those who eat in a crisis and those who lose their appetite in a crisis.
Emily Giffin
Sweetened ice tea is one of the things I love about the South, right up there with homemade biscuits and cheese grits.
Emily Giffin
Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole things happening for a reason drill.
Emily Giffin
I'm glad you were both here, I finally manage, thinking how strange it is to be standing with the two people who made you, something most kids take for granted every day of their lives.
Emily Giffin
Well, shoes, bags and clutches are usually my big weaknesses - my husband always laughs when I call them 'investment pieces.'
Emily Giffin
No matter what the circumstances. I am more like most men in this regard. No second chances. It's not so much about morality, but about my inability to forgive. I'm a champion grudge holder, and I don't think I could change this about myself even if I wanted to.
Emily Giffin
I'm very open in terms of sharing bits about my life, but I think it's very easy to get a distorted sense of who anyone is through social media.
Emily Giffin
One way isn't better than the other they're just different.
Emily Giffin
I try to be true to the characters that I've created and sometimes I disagree with them, but their opinions about the story and the characters really matter to me.
