JOJO MOYESYou only get one life. It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.
JOJO MOYESI could hear her babbling away beside me, but I wasn’t really paying attention. I could barely focus on anything.
JOJO MOYESThe most alive, three-dimensional thing I had ever heard. It made the hairs on my skin stand up, my breath catch in my throat….
JOJO MOYESI 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 MOYESYou’ve done nothing, been nowhere. How do you have the faintest idea what kind of person you are?”
JOJO MOYESA man who has always loved you and, to his detriment, suspects he always will.

JOJO MOYESI 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.
JOJO MOYESI felt the music like a physical thing; it didn’t just sit in my ears, it flowed through me, around me, made my senses vibrate. It made my skin prickle and my palms dampen…It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard.
JOJO MOYESI chose to believe that God, a benign God, would understand our sufferings and forgive us our trespasses.
