Gillian Flynn
I'm a huge fan of ghost stories, that sort of slow build, the suspense and the questioning about whether you're imagining something or if it's real.
Gillian Flynn
Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.
Gillian Flynn
I've suffered betrayal with all five senses. For over a year.
Gillian Flynn
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn
Love should require both partners to be their very best at all times
Gillian Flynn
To spend a life in dreams, that sounded too lovely.
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
Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.
Gillian Flynn
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
Gillian Flynn
