More quotes by Jojo Moyes
I thought the world had actually ended. I thought nothing good could ever happen again. I thought anything might happen if I wasn't vigilant. I didn't eat. I didn't go out.

Jojo Moyes

Jojo Moyes
I am conscious that knowing me has caused you pain, and grief, and I hope that one day when you are less angry with me and less upset you will see not just that I could only have done the thing that I did, but also that this will help you live a really good life, a better life, than if you hadn’t met me.
Jojo Moyes
Because even if the whole world was throwing rocks at you, if you still had your mother or father at your back, you'd be okay.
Jojo Moyes
I thought, briefly, that I would never feel as intensely connected to the world, to another human being, as I did at that moment.
Jojo Moyes
It's complicated.' 'So's quantitative easing. But I still get that it means printing money.
Jojo Moyes
Sit here long enough you get to know everything. You listen, see ? She taps the side of her head. Nobody listens any more. Everyone knows what they want to hear, but nobody actually listens.

If I don't cry while writing a key emotional scene, my gut feeling is it's failed.
Jojo Moyes
Believe me, you have to have a certain confidence in your powers of descretion to let a dentist loose with a drill in your mouth less than an hour after you've...um...entertained his wife.
Jojo Moyes
All I can say is that you make me... you make me into someone I couldn't even imagine. You make me happy, even when you're awful. I would rather be with you - even the you that you seem to think is diminished - than with anyone else in the world.
Jojo Moyes
But just as nature abhors a vacuum -- so does the human heart.

Astonishingly, not all girls get dressed just to please men.
