More quotes by 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
Writing a teen character is something I wanted to try again for a long time!
Emily Giffin
Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.
Emily Giffin
And although one broken heart doesn't make me an expert in the subject, I believe you need both things - time and an emotional replacement - to fully mend one.
Emily Giffin
How different this moment feels, for so many reasons. I tell myself that no two loves are identical - but that I don't have to compare anymore.
Emily Giffin
There are two kinds of sorry. There is the sorry imbued with regret. And a pure sorry. The kind that is merely asking for forgiveness, nothing more.
Emily Giffin
A theme in a lot of my books - and in my own life - is making choices that you feel you should make, or what society wants you to make, as opposed to what is truly right for you.
Emily Giffin
When you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride, and sometimes you have to keep your pride. It’s a balance. But when the relationship is right, you find the balance.
Emily Giffin
As everyone applauds and sips champagne, I smile back at Rachel, thinking she got it just right. Love and friendship. They are what makes us who we are and what can change us, if we let them.
Emily Giffin
I'm going to keep seeing him as much as I can. We'll see what happens, I say, realizing that just seeing what happens is my version of going for it.
Emily Giffin
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
Emily Giffin
It's like Brad Pitt for us. You might not like blond men with pretty features, but c'mon, it's Brad. You're not going to kick him out of bed for eating crackers.
Emily Giffin
One way isn't better than the other they're just different.
Emily Giffin
Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.
Emily Giffin
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
Anything worthwhile is tough.
Emily Giffin
This time, I whispered that I loved him too. Then, I silently listed all the reason: I loved him for his gentleness. I loved him for being an amazing catch yet still vulnerable enough to be insecure. But most of all, I loved him for loving me.
Emily Giffin
It's amazing to me how few guys know their friends' birthdays.
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
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.
