More quotes by Emily Giffin
We are in love and meant to be together.
Emily Giffin
And like a favorite old movie, sometimes the sameness in a friend is what you like the most about her.
Emily Giffin
I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.
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
What appeals to you the most is the very thing that will drive you crazy
Emily Giffin
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
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
Buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.
Emily Giffin
I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.
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
There are two kinds of women--those who eat in a crisis and those who lose their appetite in a crisis.
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
The whole misery loves company thing never applies more than when you're breaking up. The thought that the other person is doing fine is simply too much to bear.
Emily Giffin
Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone always loves more.
Emily Giffin
I think the most well-adjusted people live in the present with an eye toward the future - I'm not among those.
Emily Giffin
In my stories, I think, as I've gotten older, the characters have become stronger and more independent, and more capable of making unconventional decisions.
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
Looking back, I question whether I really loved Nate, or just the security of our relationship. I wonder if my feelings for him didn’t have a lot to do with hating my job. From the bar exam through that first hellish year as an associate, Nate was my escape. And sometimes that can feel an awful lot like love.
Emily Giffin
Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It's a choice.
Emily Giffin
I love him wholly and unconditionally and without reservation. I love him enough to sacrifice a friendship. I love him enough to accept my own happiness and use it, in turn, to make him happy back.
