More quotes by Jojo Moyes
It's complicated.' 'So's quantitative easing. But I still get that it means printing money.
Jojo Moyes
But just as nature abhors a vacuum -- so does the human heart.
Jojo Moyes
The thing about being catapulted into a whole new life--or at least, shoved up so hard against someone else's life that you might as well have your face pressed against their window--is that it forces you to rethink your idea of who you are. Or how you might seem to other people.
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

Jojo Moyes
Know that you hold my heart, my hopes, in your hands.
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.

There is a whole lot more to life than winning.
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

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
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
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 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. I didn't want to see anyone. But I survived, Paul. Much to my own surprise, I got through it. And life...well, gradually became livable again.
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
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 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.

Just live well. Just live
