His loyalty, so fierce and unwavering, makes my eyes water and heart ache.
Emily Giffin
And then there is our personal history. Memories only we share. Things not another living soul would understand.

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
We are in love and meant to be together.
Emily Giffin

Emily Giffin

Emily Giffin
I remember that my mother once told me that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
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
Surely he knows we are all watching. That I am watching. It is always that way when you are in a group and someone decides to go for a swim or walk to the water. The ocean is a giant stage. It is natural that the others watch, if only for a moment.
Emily Giffin
Throughout the ordeal, I learned that getting mad was easier than being sad. Anger was something I could control. I could settle into an easy rhythm of blame and hate. Focus my energy on something than the ache in my heart.
Emily Giffin
What appeals to you the most is the very thing that will drive you crazy
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
