More quotes by Jodi Picoult
The bottom line in both cases is that people don't change that no matter how charming you are and how fiercely you love, you cannot turn a person into something she's not.
Jodi Picoult
If you're afraid of everyone leaving you, what do you do? Make them stay. And if you can't do that, or don't know how to? Ellie shrugged. I don't know. Yes, you do. In fact, you've done it. You leave first, Coop said, so you don't have to watch them walk away.
Jodi Picoult
Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.
Jodi Picoult
There are some dreams that get stuck between your teeth when you sleep, so that when you open your mouth to yawn awake they fly right out of you.
Jodi Picoult
To me, a good event is governed by the audience.
Jodi Picoult
Me, I was already jaded and tarnished, skeptical that a fantasy world could keep reality at bay.
Jodi Picoult
It was the first time she'd discovered something she really didn't want to find, and she didn't know what to do once she'd found it.
Jodi Picoult
Writing is grunt work - you need to have self-motivation, perseverance, and faith... talent is the smallest part of it.
Jodi Picoult
I think my writing has become cleaner.
Jodi Picoult
I would figure out, later, how to explain to my boss that, for me, Delia will never be a story, but a happy ending.
Jodi Picoult
Some people, they get down in a hole so deep they can't figure out what to hold on to.
Jodi Picoult
There's some illogical part of me that still believes if you want Superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving.
Jodi Picoult
Here's what I hadn't realized: the mother you haven't seen for almost thirty-six years isn't your mother, she's a stranger. Sharing DNA doesn't make you fast friends. This wasn't a joyous reunion. It was just awkward.
Jodi Picoult
Superheroes were born in the minds of people desperate to be rescued.
Jodi Picoult
In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.
Jodi Picoult
Is it a crime when you love someone so much that you can't stand the thought of them changing? Is it a crime when you love someone so much that you can't see clearly?
Jodi Picoult
What makes a treasure a treasure. Marine replied, is how rare a find it is, when you need it the most.
Jodi Picoult
Lies were only as strong as the suckers that believed them.
Jodi Picoult
I know better than most people that a criminal isn't always a thug in a black leather jacket with a big brand on his forehead to warn us away. Criminals sit next to us on the bus. They pack our groceries and cash our paychecks for us and teach our children. They look no different from you or me. And that's why they get away with it.
Jodi Picoult
Rest easy, real mothers. The very fact that you worry about being a good mom means that you already are one.
