Gillian Flynn
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
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

Gillian Flynn
She released her grievances like handfuls of birdseed: They are there, and they are gone.
Gillian Flynn
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
I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one - like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere.
Gillian Flynn
