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
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
You're going to feel uncomfortable in your new world for a bit. It always does feel strange to be knocked out of your comfort zone.
Jojo Moyes
Sometimes, Clark, you are pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning.
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
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
...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.

I frowned at the list. “So… I’ll go back and tell the Traynors that I’m going to get their suicidal quadriplegic son drunk, spend their money on strippers and lap dancers, and then trundle him off to the Disability Olympics—
Jojo Moyes
