More quotes by Marian Keyes
I've never made a secret of the fact that I'd have loved to have children.
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
Slasher Hathaway marks his territory by spending money. He might as well have pissed on her. It means nothing.
Marian Keyes
I sighed. What is life but fleeting moments of happiness strung together on necklace of despair?
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 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
Love is an emotion. It can't be seen or touched, and it is experienced differently by everyone, therefore it is difficult to measure.
Marian Keyes
For all of my life it was the size of my rear that caused me the most hand-wringing, but in this nearly-50 zone it is my stomach that is the problem. It seems to have broken free from its moorings and there is no knowing how far it will roam.
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
Chick Lit uses humor to reflect life back to us. It's a very comforting genre, and it's the first time our generation has had a voice. It's a very important genre for all of those reasons.
Marian Keyes
What doesn't kill us makes us funnier.
Marian Keyes
I think denial's fascinating. It's a jokey word, but it really happens, and sometimes in enormous ways.
Marian Keyes
Love and kindness go hand in hand.
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
Here's how it is: I feel guilty about every single bite of food that goes into my mouth.
Marian Keyes
smarter than me. But here's the thing my life did get better. I made a decision to let go of my dreams, because they were killing me, and I stopped asking the impossible of myself. I changed my attitude and decided to focus on what I had rather than what i didn't have.
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
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
One day we'll all be dead, and none of this will matter -The Brightest Star in the Sky.
Marian Keyes
Optimism can be relearnt.
