Jon studied English Literature at Middlesex University, London, before going travelling and meeting his American wife in Australia.

Quotes by Jon Rance (?)

“Why are weather people never right? It’s probably the only profession in the world where you can be wrong most of time and still keep your job.”
― Jon Rance, This Thirtysomething Life

“My fear of getting hurt or making a fool of myself is always greater than my desire to ask the girl out. There’s been so many girls over the years that I’ve loved from afar, but never actually asked out. I just can’t do it and I know it’s ridiculous because worst case scenario they say no, but for some reason the thought of rejection terrifies me enough to not do it.”
― Jon Rance, A Notting Hill Christmas

“I needed to prove to Emma, and more importantly to myself, that I could do something worthwhile. Ed told me frequently about jobs he could get me in the City, where I could earn four times the amount I made at To Bean or Not to Bean, the shitty Shakespearean-themed café I managed, serving ridiculously named coffees like The Taming of the Brew, the Caramel Macbeth and, my personal favourite, the Antony and Cappuccino.”
― Jon Rance, Happy Endings

Jon’s Quotes

“Children change us, or maybe it’s our love for them that changes us. They melt us, and all the things that seemed a bit naff and annoying before, we see with new eyes; the eyes of a parent.”
― Jon Rance, This Family Life

“Grandad always went on about the good old days. I loved that about him. The funny thing is though, we don’t really know when we’re in the good old days. It seems impossible to know at an exact moment that it’s something special. You can be happy, you can know that a particular time is important, but you never know if it’s the good old days until it’s gone.”
― Jon Rance, This Family Life

“Could it really have been eight months or longer since we had proper sex? At what point are we just really good friends who happen to live under the same roof and share child-rearing duties?”

“All the reasons why you’re saying no are the same reasons why I have to leave. I know you love me – I love you too – but it isn’t about that. I can’t keep going along pretending everything’s fine when it isn’t. I don’t want to wake up at forty and blame you for me not doing this. I want to be happy and this is going to make me happy.”
