More quotes by Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
It was surprising that you could spend hours in the middle of the night pretending things were OK, and know in thirty seconds of daylight that that simply wasn't so.
Gillian Flynn
I'm a true-crime addict. It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but I can't stop.
Gillian Flynn
To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting.
Gillian Flynn
To me, marriage is the ultimate mystery.
Gillian Flynn
What a generous thing that is, I realize, for a husband to try to make his wife laugh.
