Gillian Flynn, The Grownup

"... it’s a nice day’s work when you make a lot of people smile."

"Books are temporary , dicks are forever"

"She is an incredibly intelligent idiot"

"I lack formal education. So I'm left with the feeling that I'm smarter than everyone around me but that if I ever got around really smart people—people who went to universities and drank wine and spoke Latin—that they’d be bored as hell by me. It’s a lonely way to go through life."
