More quotes by Emily Giffin
This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.
Emily Giffin
What if two people want to be your partner, then what?
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
There are two kinds of women--those who eat in a crisis and those who lose their appetite in a crisis.
Emily Giffin
It was the same night I gave myself to him completely, knowing that I would belong to him for as long as he wanted to keep me. And, as it turned out, even longer than that.
Emily Giffin
I still think I love him more. It's one of those things you never know for certain because there's no way to enter all the relationship data in a computer and have it spit out a definitive answer. You can't quantify love, and if you try, you wind up focusing on misleading factors.
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
What's the point of being sad? he says. We're here now.
Emily Giffin
When I meet someone I like being with more than I like being alone, I'll marry her.
Emily Giffin
No scratch the word career. Careers are people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck. This is merely a job. I can take or leave this place. I start to imagine quitting and following my yet-to-be-determined passion.
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
Guilt is a supreme waste of time and energy.
Emily Giffin
Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It's a choice.
Emily Giffin
i wish i could freeze this moment, somehow delay my final decision, and just hang here in the balance between two places, two worlds, two loves.
Emily Giffin
there is always something comforting about knowing that you are not alone. That other people feel the way you do. That you are a bit screwed up, but still normal.
Emily Giffin
I've always loved sister stories in fiction, from the time I was little, reading about Beezus and Ramona. I've always wanted to write a sister story.
Emily Giffin
I had seen the light, come to believe that a wedding should be about a feeling between two people, not a show for the masses...It was a magical, romantic evening, and although I occasionally wish I had worn a slightly fancier dress, and that Nick and I had danced on our wedding night, I have no real regrets about the way we chose to do things.
Emily Giffin
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors.

It's a funny thing - when I'm crazed with work, spending time with my children relaxes me. Yet, at the end of a long weekend with them, the very thing I need to relax is a little work and time away from them!
Emily Giffin
Life is about the gray areas. Things are seldom black and white, even when we wish they were and think they should be, and I like exploring this nuanced terrain.
