More quotes by Gillian Flynn
To spend a life in dreams, that sounded too lovely.
Gillian Flynn
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand.
Gillian Flynn
I often don't say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you'd never guess from looking at me.
Gillian Flynn
She released her grievances like handfuls of birdseed: They are there, and they are gone.
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
It was surprising that you could spend hours in the middle of the night pretending things were OK, and know in thirty seconds of daylight that that simply wasn't so.
Gillian Flynn
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn
I'm all for whatever transitions the book properly to a movie.
Gillian Flynn
To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting.
Gillian Flynn
What a generous thing that is, I realize, for a husband to try to make his wife laugh.
Gillian Flynn
I assumed everything bad in the world could happen, because everything bad in the world already did happen.
Gillian Flynn
It’s humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.
Gillian Flynn
Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.
Gillian Flynn
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
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
I've always believed clear-eyed sobriety was for the harder hearted.
Gillian Flynn
I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way.
Gillian Flynn
I feel myself trying to be charming, and then I realize I’m obviously trying to be charming, and then I try to be even more charming to make up for the fake charm, and then I’ve basically turned into Liza Minnelli: I’m dancing in tights and sequins, begging you to love me. There’s a bowler and jazz hands and lots of teeth.
Gillian Flynn
