Baggage Quote by Jojo Moyes
““Look. I know I’ve got baggage. I know that someone like me is probably not on your agenda, what with a baby and everything, but, you know, you’ve got a ton of baggage, too. You’ve got an ex-wife who you’re obviously not over and a load of women you’ve slept with who still work for you— which frankly I think is a bit much. And you’re a bit of a misogynist, which I can’t say I like either.””
