Louisa Clark Quotes

“Losing him was like having a hole shot straight through me, a painful, constant reminder, an absence I could never fill.”
― Jojo Moyes, After You

― Jojo Moyes, After You

“I know we can do this. I know it’s not how you would have chosen it, but I know I can make you happy. And all I can say in 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, Me Before You

“No. Really. I’ve thought about it a lot. You learn to live with it, with them. Because they do stay with you, even if they’re not living, breathing people any more. It’s not the same crushing grief you felt at first, the kind that swamps you, and makes you want to cry in the wrong places, and get irrationally angry with all the idiots who are still alive when the person you love is dead. It’s just something you learn to accommodate. Like adapting around a hole. I don’t know. It’s like you become … a doughnut instead of a bun.”
― Jojo Moyes, After You

“There's only one response, and I can tell you this because I see it every day. You LIVE. And you throw yourself into everything and try not to think about the bruises.”
― Jojo Moyes, After You

― Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

“Who was Louisa Clark, anyway? I was a daughter, a sister, a kind of surrogate mother for a time. I was a woman who cared for others but who seemed to have little idea how to care for herself. As the glittering wheel spun in front of me, I tried to think about what I really wanted, rather than what everyone else seemed to want for me. I thought about what Will had really been telling me- not to live some vicarious idea of a full life but to live my own dream. The problem was, I don't think I'd ever really worked out what that dream was.”
― Jojo Moyes, Still Me

“I’m going to say a Will Traynor thing now.” I said it like a warning.

‘I’m sorry?’

― Jojo Moyes, After You

“And I ordered the cheesecake.”
― Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

“I could barely even say Will's name. And listening to their tales of family relationships, of thirty-year marriages, shared houses, lives, children, I felt like a fraud. I had been a carer for someone for six months. I'd loved him, and watched him end his life. How could these strangers possibly understand what Will and I had been to each other during that time? How could I explain the way we had so swiftly understood each other, the shorthand jokes, the blunt truths and raw secrets? How could I convey the way those short months had changed the way I felt about everything? The way he had skewed my world so totally that it made no sense without him in it?”
― Jojo Moyes, After You

“-Ah -dijo-. El hombre maratón.
Abrí los ojos solo un poco, para ver si se estaba burlando de mi.

-No.
-Mi madre va a tener a los de limpieza corriendo como locos por lo menos otra hora. De algo tendrás que hablar.”
― Jojo Moye, Yo Antes de Ti

“Check his wheelchair for anthrax and ammunition”
― Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

― Jojo Moyes, After You

“I thought about Patrick, and the fact that even as I had collected my things from his flat, [...] my sadness was never the crippling thing I should have expected. I didn't feel desolete, or overwhelmed, or any of the things you should feel when you split apart a love of several years. I felt quite calm, and a bit sad and perhaps a little guity - both at my part in the split, and the fact that I didn't feel the things I probably should.”
― Jojo Moyes, Me Before You
