More quotes by Gillian Flynn
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Gillian Flynn
A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.
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

Gillian Flynn
It’s humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked.
Gillian Flynn
Safer to be feared than loved.
Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting.
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
She released her grievances like handfuls of birdseed: They are there, and they are gone.
Gillian Flynn
My dad had limitations. That's what my good-hearted mom always told us. He had limitations, but he meant no harm. It was kind of her to say, but he did do harm.
Gillian Flynn
I'd come to believe there was no food more depressing than Danish, a pastry that seemed stale upon arrival
Gillian Flynn
I've suffered betrayal with all five senses. For over a year.
Gillian Flynn
Nick is like a good stiff drink: He gives everything the correct perspective.
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.
