There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn
Image
It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.
Gillian Flynn
Image
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
Image
There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.
Gillian Flynn
Image
My mother had always told her kids: if you're about to do something, and you want to know if it's a bad idea, imagine seeing it printed in the paper for all the world to see.
Gillian Flynn
Image
People say children from broken homes have it hard, but the children of charmed marriages have their own particular challenges.
