"I think it’s very difficult to be a writer in this moment of the history of the world and be an optimist. Anyway, darkness makes better comedy."

"How do you know you’re not Cool Girl? Because he says things like: “I like strong women.” If he says that to you, he will at some point fuck someone else. Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women."

Amy Dunne of Gillian Flynn’s, Gone Girl

"We are one long frightening climax."

Last line of Gillian Flynn’s New York Times Bestselling Novel, Gone Girl -Nick Dunne

"You two, you’re fucking addicted to each other. You are literally going to be a nuclear family, you do know that? You will explode. You will fucking detonate."

"We weren’t ourselves when we fell in love, and when we became ourselves -Surprise!- we were poison. We complete each other in the nastiest, ugliest possible way."

Amy Dunne of Gillian Flynn’s, Gone Girl 

"…Because you can’t be as in love as we were and not have it invade your bone marrow. Our kind of love can go into remission, but it’s always waiting to return. Like the world’s sweetest cancer."

Amy Dunne of Gillian Flynn’s, Gone Girl 

"Then I find out the catch: She’s not the girl I thought I was dating. She can quote funny things, but she doesn’t actually like funny things. She’d rather not laugh, anyway."

Nick Dunne of Gillian Flynn’s, Gone Girl 

"That night at the Brooklyn party, I was playing the girl who was in style, the girl a man like Nick wants: the Cool Girl. Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit one me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl."

Amy Dunne of GIllian Flynn’s, Gone Girl

"The way some women change fashion regularly, I change personalities… I think most people do this, they just don’t admit it, or else they settle on one persona because they’re too lazy or stupid to pull off a switch."

Amy Dunne of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl 

"…when you finally stop an itch and realize it’s because you’ve ripped a hole in your skin."

Nick Dunne of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl
