Jodi Picoult
I have never understood why it is called losing a child. No parent is that careless. We all know exactly where our sons and daughters are we just don't necessarily want them to be there
Jodi Picoult
We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just see them more clearly than others.
Jodi Picoult
Normal, in our house, is like a blanket too short for a bed--sometimes it covers you just fine, and other times it leaves you cold and shaking and worst of all, you never know which of the two it's going to be.
Jodi Picoult
Although you hadn't asked why, it had less to do with you not noticing than with you not wanting to hear the answer.
Jodi Picoult
Prayer is like water - something you can't imagine has the strength or power to do any good, and yet give it time and it can change the lay of the land.
Jodi Picoult
I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own?
Jodi Picoult
I could think whatever I wanted to, but realized that any promises I made myself were destined to be broken.
Jodi Picoult
Love makes life a little brighter

Jodi Picoult
I thought lightning wasn't supposed to strike in the same place twice....sure it does...but only if you're too dumb to move.
Jodi Picoult
