More quotes by Emily Giffin
Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone always loves more.
Emily Giffin
It's amazing to me how few guys know their friends' birthdays.
Emily Giffin
Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.
Emily Giffin
This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.
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.
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
I remember that my mother once told me that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
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
Buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.
Emily Giffin
As everyone applauds and sips champagne, I smile back at Rachel, thinking she got it just right. Love and friendship. They are what makes us who we are and what can change us, if we let them.
Emily Giffin
No matter what the circumstances. I am more like most men in this regard. No second chances. It's not so much about morality, but about my inability to forgive. I'm a champion grudge holder, and I don't think I could change this about myself even if I wanted to.
Emily Giffin
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
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 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 like to match what I wear to my book jacket - it's a little bit cheesy, but it's my thing.
Emily Giffin
Despite the fact that I have no regrets about how things turned out in my life, I still can't help wanting to understand my intense relationship with Leo, as well as that turbulent time between adolescence and adulthood when everything feels raw and invigorating and scary-and why those feelings are all coming back to me now.
Emily Giffin
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
Emily Giffin
Anything worthwhile is tough.
Emily Giffin
What appeals to you the most is the very thing that will drive you crazy
Emily Giffin
And although one broken heart doesn't make me an expert in the subject, I believe you need both things - time and an emotional replacement - to fully mend one.
