“How confusing to live in the shadow of a shadow.”
― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

“Everyone has a moment where life goes off the rails.”
― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

“The problem is that people think in black and white. They think they can have the good without the bad. But everything that's good for one person is probably bad for someone else. Life isn't like the Bible says it is. It isn't a choice between good and evil. It's about choosing which evils you can stand.”
― Krysten Ritter, Bonfire

“Thirteen years old, I thought to myself, but I felt a spear of admiration for the girl. When I’d been sad, I hurt myself. Amma hurt other people. When I’d wanted attention, I’d submitted myself to boys: Do what you want; just like me. Amma’s sexual offerings seemed a form of aggression. Long skinny legs and slim wrists and high, babied voice, all aimed like a gun. Do what I want; I might like you.”
― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects
