Gillian Flynn Quotes

At Her Easiest, She Was Hard, Because Her Brain Was Always Working, Working, Working - I Had To Exert Myself Just To Keep Pace With Her. I'd Spend An Hour Crafting A Casual E-mail To Her, I Became A Student Of Arcana So I Could Keep Her Interested: The Lake Poets, The Code Duello, The French Revolution. Her Mind Was Both Wide And Deep, And I Got Smarter Being With Her. And More Considerate, And More Active, And More Alive, And Almost Electric, Because For Amy, Love Was Like Drugs Or Booze Or Porn: There Was No Plateau. Each Exposure Needed To Be More Intense Than The Last To Achieve The Same Result.
Amy Made Me Believe I Was Exceptional, That I Was Up To Her Level Of Play. That Was Both Our Making And Undoing. Because I Couldn't Handle The Demands Of Greatness. I Began Craving Ease And Averageness, And I Hated Myself For It, And Ultimately, I Realized, I Punished Her For It. I Turned Her Into The Brittle, Prickly Thing She Became.
