More quotes by Emily Giffin

Emily Giffin
I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.
Emily Giffin
When I write, I picture the characters a certain way in my head, and they're not like any actor or actress. It's almost hard for me to let go of my ideas as to the way they look.

Emily Giffin
Every couple has two stories - the edited one to be shared from the couch and the unabridged version best left alone.

Emily Giffin
I spend the rest of the afternoon trying to explain to Zoe one of the very saddest notions in love and life: sometimes the timing is wrong--and sometimes you realize the heart of the matter way to late in the game.
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
Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.
Emily Giffin
Guilt is a supreme waste of time and energy.
Emily Giffin
For true downtime, I enjoy going for light runs, having drinks with friends and going to the movies with my husband.
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
There are people and places and events you'd prefer to forget or at least gloss over. In the end, you can slap a pretty label on it - like serendipity or fate. Or you can believe that it's just the random way life unfolds.
Emily Giffin
What's the point of being sad? he says. We're here now.
Emily Giffin
Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone always loves more.
Emily Giffin
He threw in the towel before we were tested. Maybe because he didn't want to be tested. Maybe because he assumed we would fail. Maybe because, at the time, he just didn't love me enough.
