More quotes by Gillian Flynn
I grew up in the '80s where there's a lot of these kind of post-apocalyptic, post-comet, post-whatever it was, so that always captured my imagination a lot as a little kid, that idea of getting access to secret places and being able to roam around where you're not supposed to.

It’s humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked.
Gillian Flynn
I'm a true-crime addict. It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but I can't stop.

Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
I feel like I need to give people a note with the book that says, 'I'm OK, no worries!'
Gillian Flynn
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
Ah, well, being conflicted means you can live a shallow life without copping to be a shallow person.
Gillian Flynn
Problems always start long before you really, really see them.
Gillian Flynn
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
A town so suffocating and small, you tripped over people you hated every day. People who knew things about you. It's the kind of place that leaves a mark.
Gillian Flynn
To spend a life in dreams, that sounded too lovely.
Gillian Flynn
Ironic people always dissolve when confronted with earnestness, it's their kryptonite
Gillian Flynn
Love should require both partners to be their very best at all times
Gillian Flynn
I think mystery writers and thriller writers - whatever genre you want to call it - are taking on some of the biggest, most interesting kind of socioeconomic issues around in a really interesting, compelling way.
Gillian Flynn
I can't think of anything more crushing than slowly, over time, realizing exactly how wrong you were about someone.
Gillian Flynn
