More quotes by Marian Keyes

Marian Keyes

Marian Keyes
Not only was he not mad, but he was a musician, and my favorite men had always been musicians or writers or anything that involved the creative process and behaving like tortured artists. ... I found financial insecurity a great aphrodisiac.
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've kind of realized life is meant to be tough and everybody is in psychic and spiritual discomfort of some sort and has a burden to carry. I've realized I'm not special.
Marian Keyes
Here's how it is: I feel guilty about every single bite of food that goes into my mouth.
Marian Keyes
The old Chinese proverb springs to mind - No pain, no gain.
Marian Keyes
