Gillian Flynn
There are no really new stories anymore.
Gillian Flynn
Bang bang bang. I understand now why so many horror movies use that device-the mysterious knock on the door-because it has the weight of a nightmare. You don't know what's out there, yet you know you'll open it. You'll think what I think: No one bad ever knocks.
Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.
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
I've suffered betrayal with all five senses. For over a year.
Gillian Flynn
Ah, well, being conflicted means you can live a shallow life without copping to be a shallow person.
Gillian Flynn
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Gillian Flynn
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn
