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
I mean, when I think about it, what's more important? Clothes - or the miracle of new life?
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
Sophie Kinsella
But you can't stay with people because of guilt. Or because they can drive a speedboat.
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
There's no luck in business. There's only drive, determination, and more drive.
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
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
We all fail to appreciate each day just how much we already possess. Light, air, freedom, the companionship of friends.
Sophie Kinsella
Everyone knows revenge is a dish best served when you've had enough time to build up enough vitriol and fury.
Sophie Kinsella
I've never written a children's book, but when people meet me for the first time and I say I write books, they invariably reply, 'Children's books?' Maybe it's something about my face.
Sophie Kinsella
you can always find something you want.
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
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
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
I chose to publish the first 'Shopaholic' book under a pseudonym because I wanted it to be judged on its own merits.
Sophie Kinsella
Life would be a lot easier if conversations were rewindable and erasable, like videos. Or if you could instruct people to disregard what you just said, like in a courtroom.
Sophie Kinsella
The thing with giving up is you never know. You never know whether you could have done the job. And I'm sick of not knowing about my life.
Sophie Kinsella
Women need chocolate. It's a scientific fact.
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
I'll have to admit, he really does have quite a smile.Kind of heart-stopping, especially as it comes out of nowhere. I mean... you know. If your heart was in the kind of place to be stopped.
Sophie Kinsella
