Marian Keyes Quotes

How to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans Picture Quote #1

When God closes one door, He slams another in your face Picture Quote #1

Hen nights should be banned. You’re honour-bound to behave atrociously, then feel terribly ashamed afterwards. (This Charming Man) Picture Quote #1

Although will never love anyone again, don’t want to become bitter. Or creative Picture Quote #1

Men can be men and still get excited about other men kicking a ball around and they’re never mocked, whereas it’s easy for women to take mocking on board, to be belittled. Because we’re used to it Picture Quote #1

Regardless of the gender of the highest wage earner, the balance of power in the relationship will suffer if the higher earner uses control of the purse strings as a system of reward and punishment.

Slasher Hathaway marks his territory by spending money. He might as well have pissed on her. It means nothing Picture Quote #1

Do I mind being called a chick-lit writer? Well, it’s not the worst thing that could happen Picture Quote #1

Waiting to be ‘better’ is the wrong approach. It’s learning to live with it Picture Quote #1

So I’m back again to the eternal question, the one that has plagued me all my life: How Do Other People Do It? How come they were given life’s rule book and I missed out? Where was I when God was dispensing capability and cop on? Looking at shoes, probably Picture Quote #1

Minsk! How pissed-off that sounded! It was great. You could scare the bejayzus out of someone if you said it right Picture Quote #1

They say the path of true love never runs smooth. Well, Luke and my true love’s path didn’t run at all, it limped along in new boots that were chafing its heels. Blistered and cut, red and raw, every hopping, lopsided step, a little slice of agony Picture Quote #1

I love Prada. Not so much the clothes, which are for malnourished thirteen-year-olds, but I covet, with covety covetousness, the shoes and handbags. Like, I LOVE them. If I was given a choice between world peace and a Prada handbag, I’d dither. (I’m not proud of this, I’m only saying.) Picture Quote #1

Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words ‘for ever.’ But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don’t like doing it Picture Quote #1

I haven’t had Botox because my face is a bit lopsided and I depend on keeping everything animated so that people don’t notice Picture Quote #1

You will go on and meet someone else and I’ll just be a chapter in your tale, but for me, you were, you are and you always will be, the whole story Picture Quote #1

Love is blind, there was no doubt about it. In Tara’s case it was also deaf, dumb, dyslexic, had a bad hip and the beginnings of Alzheimer’ Picture Quote #1

Although will never love anyone again, don’t want to become bitter. Or creative Picture Quote #1

Chick Lit uses humor to reflect life back to us. It’s a very comforting genre, and it’s the first time our generation has had a voice. It’s a very important genre for all of those reasons Picture Quote #1

Love is blind, there was no doubt about it. In Tara’s case it was also deaf, dumb, dyslexic, had a bad hip and the beginnings of Alzheimer’s Picture Quote #1

I’ve been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I’d have Picture Quote #1

I used to feel defensive when people would say, ‘Yes, but your books have happy endings’, as if that made them worthless, or unrealistic. Some people do get happy endings, even if it’s only for a while. I would rather never be published again than write a downbeat ending Picture Quote #1

I went grey at 12, my eyesight went at 17. I’ve been a crock from very early on Picture Quote #1

Relationship gurus always said that an attraction based on friendship and mutual respect was far more likely to stay the course - and the bastards were right Picture Quote #1

Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted makeup. Forget the laughs, forget the fights, forget the sex, forget the jealousy. But take off your hat and observe a moment’s silence for the legions of unknown tubes of foundation, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick who died that it might all have been possible. But who died in vain Picture Quote #1

Bizarrely, I actually feel safer the older I get, like people will expect less from me, and I can become more and more invisible, yet more and more eccentric Picture Quote #1

Many nations use language simply to convey information, but it’s different in Ireland. With most conversational exchanges you get an ‘added extra’ like the free little biscuit you sometimes get with a cappuccino in a fancy coffee place Picture Quote #1

I think reviewers are sexist... This isn’t to sound bitter, but I think you’re more likely to get a critical kicking if you’re a woman. I just think that’s a fact. I really think less value is put in general on women’s voices, across the board Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, I despised Irishness. I felt our music, our television and our books were just poor imitations of what came out of Britain and America. I was all set to abandon it entirely Picture Quote #1

When you’re a mass-market writer, people think that you can just decide ‘this happens, this happens, this happens’, whereas with literary writers it’s coming from their soul and their core. But with me it does come from my soul and my core, and my soul and my core often go AWOL, and then I’ve nothing to write Picture Quote #1
