More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
If it's in the bin, it's public property.
Sophie Kinsella
A real relationship is two-way.
Sophie Kinsella
I'm allergic to family occasions. Sometimes I think we'd do better as dandelion seeds-no family, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff.
Sophie Kinsella
We’re on this planet for too short a time. And at the end of the day, what’s more important? Knowing that a few meaningless figures balanced—or knowing that you were the person you wanted to be?
Sophie Kinsella
The way I write is totally instinctive. I just write what I feel or what I find funny - and hope everyone else agrees.
Sophie Kinsella
Life is like an escalator. You see, it carries you on regardless. And you might as well enjoy the view and seize every opportunity while you're passing. Otherwise, it'll be too late.
Sophie Kinsella
I had gone to Oxford to read music. I had done music all my life, but when I got to college I didn't want to do it anymore.
Sophie Kinsella
The trouble with giving yourself a pep talk is, that deep down you know it's all bullshit.
Sophie Kinsella
To have someone who never makes a mistake, never finds her personal life in disarray, never worries about work-life balance? I think that would be unreal. What Im writing is real.
Sophie Kinsella
I don't think anyone sits down and thinks, 'I know, I'll be a chick-lit writer.' You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, 'Oh, that's chick-lit.' You say, 'Okay.' But it's not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.
Sophie Kinsella
That's the way it goes. Some things happen and some things don't. This one is obviously just wasn't meant to be. Except deep down... I still believe it was.
Sophie Kinsella
If you can't be honest with your friends and colleagues and loved ones, then what is life all about?
Sophie Kinsella
There are some things I don't understand about Jess and never will. No wedding dress. No flowers. No photo album. No champagne. The only thing she got out of her wedding was a husband. (I mean, obviously the husband is the main point when you get married. Absolutely. That goes without saying. But still, not even a new pair of shoes?)
Sophie Kinsella
It's not enough to believe! Don't you see that, you stupid girl? You could spend your whole life hoping and believing! If a love affair is one-sided, then it's only ever a question, never an answer. You can't live your life waiting for an answer.
Sophie Kinsella
If I behave as though this is a completely normal situation, then maybe it will be.
Sophie Kinsella
We all fail to appreciate each day just how much we already possess. Light, air, freedom, the companionship of friends.
Sophie Kinsella
My life has changed, and I'm changing with it.
Sophie Kinsella
Ciao, I say casually, and flick my hair back. Si. Ciao. I could so be Italian. Except I might have to learn a few more words.
Sophie Kinsella
Christmas shopping! I can do all my Christmas shopping here! I know March is a bit early, but why not be organized? And then when Christmas arrives I won't have to go near the horrible Christmas crowds.
Sophie Kinsella
If you want something you can't afford, think what else that money could buy: a week's groceries, a month's rent, or a weekend away. That will put things into perspective.
