I'd come to believe there was no food more depressing than Danish, a pastry that seemed stale upon arrival
Gillian Flynn
And if all of us are play-acting, there can be no such thing as a soul mate, because we don't have genuine souls.

Gillian Flynn
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
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
To spend a life in dreams, that sounded too lovely.
Gillian Flynn
Love should require both partners to be their very best at all times
Gillian Flynn
To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting.
Gillian Flynn
People say children from broken homes have it hard, but the children of charmed marriages have their own particular challenges.
Gillian Flynn
Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.
Gillian Flynn
To me, marriage is the ultimate mystery.
Gillian Flynn
She released her grievances like handfuls of birdseed: They are there, and they are gone.
Gillian Flynn
I'm all for whatever transitions the book properly to a movie.
