Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted make-up.
Marian Keyes
Image
Medically speaking, there is no such thing as a nervous breakdown. Which is very annoying to discover when you're right in the middle of one.
Marian Keyes
Image
I sighed. What is life but fleeting moments of happiness strung together on necklace of despair?
Marian Keyes
Image

Slasher Hathaway marks his territory by spending money. He might as well have pissed on her. It means nothing.
Marian Keyes
Image
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
Image
I am different when my nails are done. I am more dynamic. I gesticulate more, I am better at scaring my staff. I can indicate impatience by drumming on tabletops and I can wrap up a meeting with a few choice clatters.
Marian Keyes
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Political correctness is a minefield
Marian Keyes
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The best anyone can do is breathe in, breathe out and wait for it to pass.
Marian Keyes
Image
Her world had shrunk - no matter who she was with, she'd prefer to be with him. That's what happened when you fell in love - you only want to see them.
