Emily Giffin Quotes

They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

How tragic it is that so often we stop everything just as we reach the starting line. We must move past the narcissistic preoccupation with getting the love we think 'works' for us.

Love, and love alone, is capable of giving thee a happier life.

What did falling in love do for you? Can you ever really explain it? It filled empty spaces I never knew were empty. It cured a loneliness I never knew I had. It gave me joy. And freedom. I think that was the most amazing part. I suddenly felt both embraced and freed at the same time.

When you are happy and in love and when you have children, then maybe you are beautiful.
