Jojo Moyes QUOTES

181 " She listens to the history of her painting read aloud in court and finds it hard to associate her portrait, the little painting that has hung serenely on her bedroom wall, with such trauma, such globally significant events. "

― Jojo Moyes , The Last Letter from Your Lover

182 " At ten, irritable and restless, I walked to the kitchen and stole two of Nathan's beers, leaving an apologetic note under his door, and drank them, one after the other, gulping so fast that I had to suppress a huge belch. I felt bad about that damned cockroach. What was he doing after all? Just going about his cockroachy business. Maybe he'd been lonely. Maybe he'd wanted to make friends with me. I went and peered under the basin where I'd kicked him but he was definitely dead. This made me irrationally angry. I'd thought you weren't meant to be able to kill cockroaches. I'd been lied to about cockroaches. I added this to my list of things to feel furious about. "

― Jojo Moyes , Still Me (Me Before You, #3)

183 " Nobody ever feels they're doing well with teenagers, he said. I think that's kind of the point of them. "

― Jojo Moyes , After You (Me Before You, #2)

184 " A primavera chegou durante a noite, como se o inverno fosse um hóspede indesejado que de repente resolveu vestir seu casaco e desaparecer sem se despedir. Tudo ficou mais verde, as ruas foram banhadas por um sol fraco, o ar agora perfumado. O dia tinha sinais florais e acolhedores, com trinados primaveris como fundo musical.

185 " Ich habe vor langer Zeit gelernt, dass "was wäre, wenn…" ein gefährliches Spiel ist. "

― Jojo Moyes , The Last Letter from Your Lover

186 " We had not mentioned love, but my every nerve ending throbbed with it, and I carried it in a cloud around me, like sea mist. "

― Jojo Moyes , Silver Bay

187 " Are you still with this man?
On no, She sniffed. I realized pretty quickly I couldn't marry a man without a bookshelf.
No bookshelf?
In his house. Not even a little one in his loo for the Reader's Digest.
Many people in this country don't read books.
He didn't have one book. Not even a true crime. Or a Jeffrey Archer. I mean, what does that tell you about someone's character? "

― Jojo Moyes , Paris for One

188 " Here’s the thing about middle-class
people. They pretend not to look, but they
do. They were too polite to actually stare.
Instead, they did this weird thing of
catching sight of Will in their field of
vision and then determinedly not looking
at him. Until he’d gone past, at which
point their gaze would flicker towards
him, even while they remained in
conversation with someone else. They
wouldn’t talk about him, though. Because
that would be rude. "

― Jojo Moyes , Me Before You (Me Before You, #1)

189 " I had a choice. I was Louisa Clark from New York or Louisa Clark from Stortfold. Or there might be a whole other Louisa I hadn’t yet met. The key was making sure that anyone you allowed to walk beside you didn’t get to decide which you were, and pin you down like a butterfly in a case. The key was to know that you could always somehow find a way to reinvent yourself again. "

― Jojo Moyes , Still Me (Me Before You, #3)

190 " Wissen Sie, man kann nicht erzwingen, wiedergeliebt zu werden. Ganz gleich, wie sehr man sich es wünscht. Manchmal hat man einfach den richtigen Zeitpunkt verpasst. "

― Jojo Moyes , The Last Letter from Your Lover

191 " You've forgotten your little car,' she called, as I swept through the door that Nathan held open for me.
'Why, does that need a bloody badge too?' I said, and followed them into the lift. "

― Jojo Moyes , Me Before You (Me Before You, #1)

192 " Nell looks at the label and comes to.
"Oh, I'd never wear it. I like to buy things on a cost-per-wear basis. This dress would probably work out at like...thirty pounds a wear. No. I couldn't."
"You don't ever do something just because it makes you feel good?" The assistant shrugs. "Mademoiselle, you need to spend more time in Paris. "

― Jojo Moyes , Paris for One

193 " She had earned every one of her bruises and blisters, had built a new Alice over the frame of one with whom she never felt entirely comfortable. "

― Jojo Moyes , The Giver of Stars

194 " I didn’t know my dad in person and I never got to say goodbye to him at his funeral and I thought it would be nice to say a few words now that I sort of feel I know him a bit better.’ She gave a nervous smile, and pushed a strand of hair from her face.

‘So. Will … Dad. When I first found out you were my real father, I’ll be honest, I was a bit freaked out. I’d hoped my real dad was going to be this wise, handsome man, who would want to teach me stuff and protect me and take me on trips to show me amazing places that he loved. And what I actually got was an angry man in a wheelchair who just, you know, killed himself. But because of Lou, and your family, over the last few months I’ve come to understand you a bit better.

‘I’ll always be sad and maybe even a bit angry that I never got to meet you, but now I want to say thank you too. “. You gave me a lot, without knowing it. I think I’m like you in good ways – and probably a few not-so-good ways. You gave me blue eyes and my hair colour and the fact that I think Marmite is revolting and the ability to do black ski runs and … Well, apparently you also gave me a certain amount of moodiness – that’s other people’s opinion, by the way. Not mine.’

‘But mostly you gave me a family I didn’t know I had. And that’s cool. Because, to be honest, it wasn’t going that well before they all turned up.’ Her smile wavered.

‘ So, um, Will … Dad, I’m not going to go on and on because speeches are boring and also that baby is going to start wailing any minute, which will totally harsh the mood. But I just wanted to say thank you, from your daughter, and that I … love you and I’ll always miss you, and I hope if you’re looking down, and you can see me, you’re glad. That I exist. Because me being here sort of means you’re still here, doesn’t it?’ Lily’s voice cracked and her eyes filled with tears. Her gaze slid towards Camilla, who gave a small nod. "

195 " And I ordered the cheesecake. "

― Jojo Moyes , Me Before You (Me Before You, #1)

196 " Pastor, you know you’re talking to a room full of happily unmarried women here, right? "

― Jojo Moyes , The Giver of Stars

197 " The men were less interesting to look at, but nearly all had that air about them that I could sometimes detect in Will--of wealth and entitlement, a sense that life would settle itself agreeably around them. "

― Jojo Moyes , Me Before You (Me Before You, #1)

198 " Е, това е. Ти спечели сърцето ми, Кларк. Направи го от първия ден, когато влезе вкъщи, с твоите абсурдни дрехи, недодяланите ти шеги и пълната ти неспособност да криеш мислите си. Ти промени живота ми много повече, отколкото тези пари ще променят твоя.

Не мисли за мен твърде често. Не искам да тъжиш. Просто живей добре.

Просто живей.

С обич — Уил "

― Jojo Moyes , Me Before You (Me Before You, #1)

199 " No hay nada mas elocuente que un zapato adecuado.

Se puede decir mucho de una persona por sus zapatos. "

― Jojo Moyes , Honeymoon in Paris

200 " O livro — que era surpreendentemente interessante — era sobre uma espécie de luta pela sobrevivência. Afirmava que as mulheres não escolhiam os homens por amor.
Segundo o livro, a fêmea da espécie sempre escolheria o macho mais forte para aumentar as chances de sobrevivência da prole. Ela não tinha culpa. É a natureza.
Como eu era antes de você "
