Emily Giffin
No, scratch the word career. Careers are for people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck.
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
We are in love and meant to be together.
Emily Giffin
Then he asks if he can kiss me. It is a question I don’t usually like. Just do it, I always think.
Emily Giffin
There are two kinds of sorry. There is the sorry imbued with regret. And a pure sorry. The kind that is merely asking for forgiveness, nothing more.
Emily Giffin
you'd do anything to get a soul mate back, right?… I mean, that's the nature of soul mates.
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
