"How is it possible to exist with so much pain?"

-- Jojo Moyes

“Don't speak to me about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people. Don't tell me how much you love your God; show me in how much you love all God's children. Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors. In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give.”

“I got the best of Jesus. He got the worst of me.”
“If you're given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.”
“I feel like I always learn when I'm writing, even when I'm not writing about myself. I'm careful not to judge; I try to internalize and empathize with the characters. Stepping into that person's shoes is transformative. It changes you. Looking at my own life, it's also humbling to write.”
