More quotes by Jojo Moyes
I chose to believe that God, a benign God, would understand our sufferings and forgive us our trespasses.
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
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
Push yourself. Don’t settle. Wear those stripy legs with pride. And if you insist on settling down with some ridiculous bloke, make sure some of this is squirreled away somewhere. Knowing you still have possibilities is a luxury. Knowing I might have given them to you has alleviated something for me.
Jojo Moyes
I held him close and said nothing, all the while telling him silently that he was loved. Oh, but he was loved.
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
Know that you hold my heart, my hopes, in your hands.
Jojo Moyes
Real friends were the kind where you pick up where you'd left off, whether it be a week since you'd seen each other or two years.
Jojo Moyes
I was once told by someone wise that writing is perilous as you cannot always guarantee your words will be read in the spirit in which they were written.
Jojo Moyes
And it was suddenly very simple: There was no choice.
Jojo Moyes
The only thing Jess really cared about were those two children and letting them know they were okay. Because even if the whole world was throwing rocks at you, if you had your mother at your back, you'd be okay. Some deep-rooted part of you would know you were loved. That you deserved to be loved.
Jojo Moyes
Astonishingly, not all girls get dressed just to please men.
Jojo Moyes
...I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn't have met, and who didn't like each other much when they did, but who found they were the only two people in the world who could possibly have understood each other.
Jojo Moyes
I will never, ever regret the things I've done. Because most days, all you have are places in your memory that you can go to.
Jojo Moyes
There is a hunger in you. A fearlessness. You just buried it, like most people do.
Jojo Moyes
And then, just like that, my heart broke. My face crumpled, my composure went and I held him tightly and I stopped caring that he could feel the shudder of my sobbing body because grief swamped me. It overwhelmed me and tore at my heart and my stomach and my head and it pulled me under, and I couldn’t bear it. I honestly thought I couldn’t bear it.
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.
Jojo Moyes
How is it possible to exist with so much pain?
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
She went kind of pink and laughed, the kind of laugh you do when you know yo shouldn't be laughing. The kind of laugh that spoke of a conspiracy.
