More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
If I've learned one lesson from all that's happened to me, it's that there is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There's no such thing as ruining your life. Life's a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.
Sophie Kinsella
My childhood was spent embracing one literary heroine after another. I identified passionately with each one and would slavishly imitate them.
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
Shopping with friends is a great way of still enjoying the thrill of the chase without having to make a purchase. It can also be a real bonding opportunity. Helping your friend find something nice is just as rewarding as helping yourself.
Sophie Kinsella
Just because of that one disastrous blind date she had last year, where the guy turned out to be fifty-nine, not thirty-nine (He claimed it was a typo. Yeah, I’m sure his finger just happened to slip two spaces to the left).
Sophie Kinsella
I had no plans to be a writer. My teenaged bid for stardom was to be a pop star... which, ahem, didn't exactly work out.
Sophie Kinsella
I mean, when I think about it, what's more important? Clothes - or the miracle of new life?
Sophie Kinsella
They said I was a valued customer. Now they send me hate mail.
Sophie Kinsella
I did a lot of shopping for her in Tokyo because the colors here are very conservative. A shopaholic would have a coat in every color and lots of accessories
Sophie Kinsella
You're so narrow-minded! You live in the same village you grew up in, you run the family business, you're buying a nursery down the road... you're practically still in the womb. So before you lecture me on the way to live my life, try living one of your own, OK?
Sophie Kinsella
The trouble with giving yourself a pep talk is, that deep down you know it's all bullshit.
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
So I buy it. The most perfect little cardigan in the world. People will call me the Girl in the Gray Cardigan. I’ll be able to live in it. Really, it’s an investment.
Sophie Kinsella
Life takes us on different paths... It's not up to us to evaluate or judge them, merely respect and embrace them. (Lara Lington - to Sadie Lancaster)
Sophie Kinsella
You're working for me cut out the attitude.
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
Hi. Hi. I shrug, as though to say Whatever. In my peripheral vision I can see Magnus exhale. He looks a teeny bit nervous. So. So. I can play this game too. Poppy. Poppy. I mean, Magnus. I scowl. He caught me out.
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.
Sophie Kinsella
Honestly, it’s so easy to get what you want from people if they think you’re a psycho.
