Gillian Flynn
Image
There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.
Gillian Flynn
Image
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
Image
Ah, well, being conflicted means you can live a shallow life without copping to be a shallow person.
Gillian Flynn
Image
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
Image
There are no really new stories anymore.
Gillian Flynn
