More quotes by Marian Keyes
Although will never love anyone again, don't want to become bitter. Or creative.
Marian Keyes
I never wear flats. My shoes are so high that sometimes when I step out of them, people look around in confusion and ask, Where'd she go? and I have to say, I'm down here.
Marian Keyes
Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted make-up.
Marian Keyes
They say the path of true love never runs smooth. Well, Luke and my true love's path didn't run at all, it limped along in new boots that were chafing its heels. Blistered and cut, red and raw, every hopping, lopsided step, a little slice of agony.
Marian Keyes
My friend Kathy is the only person who'll be halfway honest with me. 'Did you ever see a cowboy film, where someone has been caught by the Indians and tied between two wild stallions, each pulling in opposite directions?' she asked.I nodded mutely.'That's a bit what giving birth is like.
Marian Keyes
I don't like this idea of division: that if you're a clever woman then you've got to be a particular way. Because men don't. Men please themselves.
Marian Keyes

Marian Keyes
The old Chinese proverb springs to mind - No pain, no gain.
Marian Keyes
I've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.
Marian Keyes
I'd rather dig a ditch than go to a dinner party with people I don't know.
Marian Keyes
The best anyone can do is breathe in, breathe out and wait for it to pass.
Marian Keyes
I knew it, I just knew it! The person who had the job of writing my life's dialogue used to work on a very low budget soap opera.
Marian Keyes
I've never made a secret of the fact that I'd have loved to have children.
Marian Keyes
I am prone to despair. We are all born with a particular personality. I get afraid and then I don't want to leave the house.
Marian Keyes
It's not like you take the right turning and you get everlasting happiness and you take the wrong one and your life's a disaster. In real life it's often impossible to tell which decision is the one you should make because what you stand to gain and what you stand to lose are sometimes-often-neck and neck.
Marian Keyes
I used to feel defensive when people would say, 'Yes, but your books have happy endings', as if that made them worthless, or unrealistic. Some people do get happy endings, even if it's only for a while. I would rather never be published again than write a downbeat ending.
Marian Keyes
I know of people who don't believe it, but depression is an illness, but unlike, say, a broken leg, you don't know when it'll get better.
Marian Keyes
What doesn't kill us makes us funnier.
Marian Keyes
Love and kindness go hand in hand.
Marian Keyes
You will go on and meet someone else and I'll just be a chapter in your tale, but for me, you were, you are and you always will be, the whole story.
