“People love talking, and I have never been a huge talker. I carry on an inner monologue, but the words often don't reach my lips.”
― Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

“People got such a charge from seeing their names in print. Proof of existence. I could picture a squabble of ghosts ripping through piles of newspapers. Pointing at a name on the page. See, there I am. I told you I lived. I told you I was.”
― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

“Glum. It meant having the blues in a way that annoyed other people. Having the blues aggressively.”
― Gillian Flynn, Dark Places

“We've known each other for almost half our lives.
I've seen you smiling, confident, blissfully happy.
I've seen you broken, wounded, lost.
But I've never seen you like this.
You taught me to look for beauty. In darkness, in destruction, you always found light.
I don't know what beauty I'll find here, what light. But I'll try. I'll do it for you. Because I know you would do it for me.
There was so much beauty in our life together.”
― Jill Santopolo, The Light We Lost
