More quotes by 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
My mother is the best storyteller. And her mother was too.
Marian Keyes
Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted make-up.
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've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.
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
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 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
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.
Marian Keyes
I sighed. What is life but fleeting moments of happiness strung together on necklace of despair?
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
I went grey at 12, my eyesight went at 17. I've been a crock from very early on.
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 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
Waiting to be 'better' is the wrong approach. It's learning to live with it.
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
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'd rather dig a ditch than go to a dinner party with people I don't know.
Marian Keyes
Here's how it is: I feel guilty about every single bite of food that goes into my mouth.
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.
