More quotes by Emily Giffin
But I have learned that you make your own happiness, that part of going for what you want means losing something else. And when the stakes are high, the losses can be that much greater.
Emily Giffin
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors.
Emily Giffin
Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.
Emily Giffin
Surely he knows we are all watching. That I am watching. It is always that way when you are in a group and someone decides to go for a swim or walk to the water. The ocean is a giant stage. It is natural that the others watch, if only for a moment.
Emily Giffin
Where we belong is often where we least expect to find ourselves—a place that we may have willed ourselves to forget, but that the heart remembers forever.
Emily Giffin
Maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.
Emily Giffin
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
Emily Giffin
Did she ever regret her choices? Were her decisions more clear-cut than mine - or are there always shades of gray whe it comes to matters of the heart?

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
After all, I think, isn't it always about a boy?
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 think that we have to consciously be aware that every moment we're in, every different stage in our lives, we can control.
Emily Giffin
One way isn't better than the other they're just different.
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
You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.
Emily Giffin
We are in love and meant to be together.
Emily Giffin
The world is not that black and white, Rachel. There are no moral absolutes. It is complex.
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
Sweetened ice tea is one of the things I love about the South, right up there with homemade biscuits and cheese grits.
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.
