More quotes by Emily Giffin
I try to be true to the characters that I've created and sometimes I disagree with them, but their opinions about the story and the characters really matter to me.
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.
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
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
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
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
You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.
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.
Emily Giffin
What appeals to you the most is the very thing that will drive you crazy
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
Buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.
Emily Giffin
Evident in every small act of kindness, it was love as a verb. Love that made me feel more complete than I had ever felt in my glamorous, Jimmy Choo filled past.
Emily Giffin
I've always loved sister stories in fiction, from the time I was little, reading about Beezus and Ramona. I've always wanted to write a sister story.
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.
Emily Giffin
i wish i could freeze this moment, somehow delay my final decision, and just hang here in the balance between two places, two worlds, two loves.
Emily Giffin
There are no absolutes in relationships. You can't take anything for granted. You can count on absolutely nothing but the unexpected. You only get in trouble when you start thinking that you're some kind of exception to the rule.
Emily Giffin
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
Emily Giffin
True love is supposed to make you into a better person-uplift you.
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
My relationship with my sister is so central to my life. She's my closest friend, my biggest supporter, and I know she would say the same about me.
