More quotes by Emily Giffin
We are in love and meant to be together.
Emily Giffin
Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole things happening for a reason drill.
Emily Giffin
One way isn't better than the other they're just different.
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
Guilt is a supreme waste of time and energy.
Emily Giffin
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
And without Dex in my life, I like to think I could have somehow found contentment. But the truth is, I feel freer with Dex than I ever did when I was single. I feel more myself with him than without. Maybe true love does that
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
When I meet someone I like being with more than I like being alone, I'll marry her.
Emily Giffin
But I have learned that you can't just create your own timetable and will it to come true.
Emily Giffin
Anything worthwhile is tough.
Emily Giffin
Don't you wish we could pick the people we love? Yeah, I say. Or just make the people we love want the same things we want.
Emily Giffin
That's how life is. Sometimes there are happy endings, sometimes there aren't, and more often there are shades of gray.
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
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
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
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
I always find something in common with my protagonist, particularly when I write in the first person.
Emily Giffin
And then there is our personal history. Memories only we share. Things not another living soul would understand.
Emily Giffin
I remember that my mother once told me that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
