More quotes by Sophie Kinsella
Still, that's the point of love you love someone despite their flaws.
Sophie Kinsella
A real relationship is two-way.
Sophie Kinsella
It's a GIRL. It's a little girl, with scrunched-up petal lips and a tuft of dark hair and hands in tiny fits, up by her ears. All that time, that's who was in there. And it's weird, but the minute I saw her I just thought: IT'S YOU. Of course it is.
Sophie Kinsella
The thing about lying to your parents is, you have to do it to protect them. It’s for their own good.
Sophie Kinsella
There's no luck in business. There's only drive, determination, and more drive.
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
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 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
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
Honestly, it’s so easy to get what you want from people if they think you’re a psycho.
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
Have you ever thought about the grid of Manhattan?' It's like...a metaphor for life. You think you have the freedom to walk anywhere. But in fact... you are strictly controlled. Up or down. Left or right. Nothing in between. No other options.' Life should be like an open space...you should be able to walk in whatever direction you choose.
Sophie Kinsella
The trouble with giving yourself a pep talk is, that deep down you know it's all bullshit.
Sophie Kinsella
Don’t think about it. Don’t think about what could have been. It’s too unbearable.
Sophie Kinsella
I once tried to give him a friendly little drugs chat. He politely corrected me on every single fact, then said he'd noticed I drank above the recommended guidelines of Red Bull and did I think I might have an addiction? That was the last time I tried to act like the older sister.
Sophie Kinsella
Jeez Louise. I know why rich people are so thin: it's from trekking around their humongous houses the whole time.
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
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
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're single, then I'm single? What's that supposed to be? Lyrics to a pop song?
