Relationships are a battle. They are a chess game. And what did I do? I just threw all my chess pieces down on the board at once, and said, Here! Have them all!

More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
There are moments in life that the white-chocolate Magnum ice cream was invented for, and this is one of them.
Sophie Kinsella
Oh, please. If she's going to use Mr. Darcy to prop up her arguments, I give up.
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
If my writing comes to a halt, I head to the shops: I find them very inspirational. And if I get into real trouble with my plot, I go out for a pizza with my husband.
Sophie Kinsella
If I worked at White Globe Consulting, I wouldn't be able to do my job. I would spend all day texting the other people in the office, asking them what was going on today and had they heard anything new and what did they think was going to happen. Hmm. Maybe it's a good thing I'm not in an office job.
Sophie Kinsella
My life has changed, and I'm changing with it.
Sophie Kinsella
If I behave as though this is a completely normal situation, then maybe it will be.
Sophie Kinsella
You can't just switch off your feelings because the other person did.
Sophie Kinsella
...you may be able to sway people's heads. But you can't sway their hearts.
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
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
We both gaze down at my swollen tummy for a while. I still can't quite get my head round the fact that there's a baby inside my body. Which has got to come out... somehow. OK, let's not go there. There's still time for them to invent something.
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
You don't always have to know who you are. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what to do next.
Sophie Kinsella
I always thought 'chick lit' meant third-person contemporary funny novels, dealing with issues of the day. I mean, it's not the ideal term when I'm asked to describe what I do, I say I write romantic comedies, cause that's what I feel they are. But I'm quite pragmatic.
Sophie Kinsella
You can want and want and want, but if he doesn't want you back ... you might as well wish the sky were red.
Sophie Kinsella
If you're single, then I'm single? What's that supposed to be? Lyrics to a pop song?
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 am not a label snob and have learned that the thrill of shopping can be just as great, if not more so, when you find a bargain.
Sophie Kinsella
This is a test, isn't it? It's like choosing out of three caskets in a fairy tale. Everyone knows the rules. You never choose the gold shiny one. Or even the quite impressive silver one. What you're supposed to do is choose the dull little lead one, and then there's a flash of light and it turns into a mountain of jewels
