More quotes by Marian Keyes
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
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
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
Every day I wake up afraid that I won't be able to write, that today is the day it has left me.
Marian Keyes
He seemed wild and dangerous and carefree--well, he would, would'nt he? What were motorcycles and black leather pants if not the uniform of a wild, dangerous and carefree man?
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
Baking makes me focus. On weighing the sugar. On sieving the flour. I find it calming and rewarding because, in fairness, it is sort of magic - you start off with all this disparate stuff, such as butter and eggs, and what you end up with is so totally different. And also delicious.
Marian Keyes
It was only when the salt water of my tears ran into my cuts and made them sting that I discovered I was crying.
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
Minsk! How pissed-off that sounded! It was great. You could scare the bejayzus out of someone if you said it right.
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
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
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
Waiting to be 'better' is the wrong approach. It's learning to live with it.
Marian Keyes
One day we'll all be dead, and none of this will matter -The Brightest Star in the Sky.
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 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
You've recognised a fundamental feature of an addict's life. Maintaining your habit is so important you've no real interest in anything else.
Marian Keyes
I like hoodies. They just make me feel safe.
Marian Keyes
Love and kindness go hand in hand.
