More quotes by Gillian Flynn
I've suffered betrayal with all five senses. For over a year.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand.
Gillian Flynn
People love talking, and I have never been a huge talker. I carry on an inner monologue, but the words often don't reach my lips.
Gillian Flynn
Bang bang bang. I understand now why so many horror movies use that device-the mysterious knock on the door-because it has the weight of a nightmare. You don't know what's out there, yet you know you'll open it. You'll think what I think: No one bad ever knocks.
Gillian Flynn
I think there is something very relatable in the idea that you hit a certain age, later in your life, where you realize you have to pick up the rug and see what's underneath it and deal with stuff.
Gillian Flynn
I like the discipline of writing a script. You can't go into the character's head - you have to find these creative ways to help externalize what they're thinking.
Gillian Flynn
I often don't say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you'd never guess from looking at me.
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.
Gillian Flynn
I waited patiently - years - for the pendulum to swing the other way, for men to start reading Jane Austen, learn how to knit, pretend to love cosmos, organize scrapbook parties, and make out with each other while we leer. And then we'd say, Yeah, he's a Cool Guy.
Gillian Flynn
She released her grievances like handfuls of birdseed: They are there, and they are gone.
Gillian Flynn
Nick is like a good stiff drink: He gives everything the correct perspective.
Gillian Flynn
Because isn’t that the point of every relationship: to be known by someone else, to be understood? He gets me. She gets me. Isn’t that the simple magic phrase?
Gillian Flynn
Problems always start long before you really, really see them.
Gillian Flynn
I assumed everything bad in the world could happen, because everything bad in the world already did happen.
Gillian Flynn
There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.
Gillian Flynn
Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.
Gillian Flynn
A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.
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've always been partial to the image of liquor as lubrication, a layer of protection from all the sharp thoughts in your head.
Gillian Flynn
