Ironic people always dissolve when confronted with earnestness, it's their kryptonite
Gillian Flynn

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
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
Gillian Flynn
Image
Give me a man with a little fight in him, a man who calls me on my bullshit. (But who also kind of likes my bullshit.)
Gillian Flynn
Image
I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ. Slit me at my belly and it might slide out, meaty and dark, drop on the floor so you could stomp on it.
Gillian Flynn
Image
Nick is like a good stiff drink: He gives everything the correct perspective.
Gillian Flynn
Image
I'm a true-crime addict. It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but I can't stop.
Gillian Flynn
Image
