Dorothy Koomson“Always regret the things you did do, never the things you didn't.”
Dorothy Koomson, The Cupid Effect“I always smile when I think of him, and when I see his doppelgängers I rubberneck to get a look. Then allow myself to dissolve into a serene, secret little smile as that feeling takes over. Is it possible to fall in love with someone you've only met for five minutes?”
Dorothy Koomson, The Woman He Loved Before“He seems to have become a part of my life and I'm disappointed if I don't see him. If I get to the end of the day without seeing someone who reminds me of him, I feel as if a dull shadow has fallen over me.”
Dorothy Koomson, The Woman He Loved Before“If I had a girl, I’d want her to know that she can be anything she wants and that she doesn't have to rely on her looks or clothes or hair or make-up to define who she is or to get respect from other people. I’d want her to know she has a right to be respected or noticed because she was born. I’m not talking about all the girl power nonsense, I’m talking about my girl growing up knowing she has the right to be treated decently simply because she was born.”
Dorothy Koomson, Marshmallows for Breakfast“I would rather have nothing than something that was only alright.”
Dorothy Koomson, The Woman He Loved Before“There is something I want to do. But it's something to work towards, not something that should be handed to me on a plate. What's the point of doing something if you know you've got someone to rescue you if you fail? I like to work hard at something and then to reap the rewards. I take pride in what I do. What's the point if I know my rich husband will bail me out if I mess up?”
Dorothy Koomson, The Woman He Loved Before“That's what I like about the modern world: choice. We all choose what we have to live with.”
Dorothy Koomson, The Woman He Loved Before“Are you always this honest?""Almost never”
Dorothy Koomson, The Woman He Loved Before“I hate him for what he's done, but I still love him for the man he was.”
