More quotes by Gillian Flynn

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

Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
I can't think of anything more crushing than slowly, over time, realizing exactly how wrong you were about someone.
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
To me, marriage is the ultimate mystery.
Gillian Flynn
Ironic people always dissolve when confronted with earnestness, it's their kryptonite
Gillian Flynn
I feel like I need to give people a note with the book that says, 'I'm OK, no worries!'
Gillian Flynn
Worries find you easily enough without inviting them.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand.
Gillian Flynn
Love should require both partners to be their very best at all times
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
To spend a life in dreams, that sounded too lovely.
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
I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way.
Gillian Flynn
