Gillian Flynn

“I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.”

“There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.”

“That's always been part of my goal - to show the dark side of women. Men write about bad men all the time, and they're called antiheroes.”

“Because isn’t that the point of every relationship: to be known by someone else, to be understood? He gets me. She gets me. Isn’t that the simple magic phrase?”

“Love makes you want to be a better man—right, right. But maybe love, real love, also gives you permission to just be the man you are.”
