161 " I don't really know what I'm hoping for, but all suggestions gratefully received. "
― Jojo Moyes , Me Before You (Me Before You, #1)
162 " Whatever it was she was doing, it seemed to be giving him just a small respite from that. "
163 " White-water rafting and scuba diving were not part of his plan for convalescence. "
164 " ...and for the first time since I had embarked upon my plan, I felt properly despondent. "
165 " I had never, in my life, imagined I would spend time somewhere like this. Every morning I woke to the sound of the sea breaking gently on the shore, unfamiliar birds calling to each other from the trees. "
166 " I didn't think places like this existed outside films. "
167 " ...and when he kissed me back all of this vanished and it was just Will and me, on an island in the middle of nowhere, under a thousand twinkling stars. "
168 " A million silent arguments rattled around my head. Why is this not enough for you? Why am I not enough for you? Why could you not have confided in me? If we'd had more time, would this have been different? "
169 " I would honestly have changed my flight, perhaps even disappeared until I could make sure that there was between us a whole continent, not just a few impossible inches. "
170 " Listen, Lou. They don't give interviews out like bread for ducks, you eejit. This is a big deal. They know you're a mature student, you're applying at the wrong time of year, and they're still going to see you. You can't muck them around. "
171 " ...and it was a bit of relief to have a break from Lou's misery. Being around someone that depressed is a bit of a drain. You might feel sorry for them, but you can't help wanting to tell them to pull themselves together too. "
172 " I don't think I had ever felt lonelier in my life. "
173 " When I finally spoke, my voice was a small, broken thing. What emerged was the only thing I could safely say.'I missed you. "
174 " ...it's not enough for you to sit on your arse for the rest of your life. But it should buy you your freedom, both from that claustrophobic little town we both call home, and from the kind of choices you have so far felt you had to make. "
175 " I think you have to identify with all your characters to some extent, or they just don't come off the page properly. "
176 " I guess love is the thing that makes us do the most extraordinary things—the emotion that can bring us highest or lowest, or be the most transformative—and extremes of emotion are always interesting to write about. "
177 " 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 a like a butterfly in a case. The key was to know that you could always somehow find a way to reinvent yourself again. "

178 " There is always a way out of a situation. Might be ugly. Might leave you feeling like the earth had gone and shifted under your feet. But there is always a way around. "
― Jojo Moyes , The Giver of Stars
179 " But...sometimes, Louisa, moving on means we do have to protect ourselves. "
― Jojo Moyes
180 " And there followed a strange, elongated couple of minutes. The kind in which two people know they have to part, and don't want to.And while neither can acknowledge it, each believes the other feels it too. "
