What if I like watching television? What if I don't want to do much else other than read a book?... What if I'm tired when I get home? What if I don't fill my days with frenetic activity? But one day you might wish you had.

More quotes by 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
Nobody fights you like your own sister nobody else knows the most vulnerable parts of you and will aim for them without mercy.
Jojo Moyes
I let him know a hurt had been mended in a way that he couldn’t have known, and for that alone there would always be a piece of me indebted to him.
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
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
If I don't cry while writing a key emotional scene, my gut feeling is it's failed.
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
But just as nature abhors a vacuum -- so does the human heart.
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
There is a hunger in you. A fearlessness. You just buried it, like most people do.
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
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.
Jojo Moyes
That evening she glowed. She gave off a vibration of energy that he suspected only he could detect. Do I do this to you?, he wondered, as he watched her eat. Or is this just the relief of being out from under the forbidden eye of that husband of yours?
Jojo Moyes
But don't blame me for the food. My wife knows a hundred and one ways to incinerate a cow, and as far as I can tell she's still experimenting.
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 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
I hadn’t realized that music could unlock things in you, could transport you to somewhere even the composer hadn’t predicted. It left an imprint in the air around you, as if you carried its remnants with you when you went.
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
... if you're going to wear a dress like that you need to wear it with confidence. You need to fill it out mentally as well as physically.
Jojo Moyes
