If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?

More quotes by Jodi Picoult
You can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to lose the people you love.
Jodi Picoult
I found plain truth very interesting.
Jodi Picoult
Researching 'Lone Wolf,' I was amazed at how thoughtful and intelligent these animals are. There has never been a documented attack against a human by a wolf that wasn't provoked by the human.
Jodi Picoult
I think many of my books, including Handle with Care, including My Sister's Keeper circle back to how far are we willing to go for the people we love? I think love changes the way we think. It's the thing that takes you out of what your normal set of beliefs would be.
Jodi Picoult
You came back fighting and furious at me. You told me you'd been looking for mermaids, and I interrupted you. [...] I said that next time, you had to take me with you. Was there a next time? Well, you tell me, you don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?
Jodi Picoult
If she spoke, she would tell him the truth: she was not okay at all, but horribly empty, now that she knew what it was like to be filled.
Jodi Picoult
What if what you know isn’t what people want to hear?
Jodi Picoult
You might have to lose control before you could find out what you'd been missing.
Jodi Picoult
I wanted him to feel what I felt when I was with him: that incredible combination of comfort, decadence, and wonder the knowledge that, with just a single taste of him, I was addicted.
Jodi Picoult
You'd think someone who'd been to medical school would be able to hear through a stethoscope that somebody was empty inside.
Jodi Picoult
No matter who you are, there is always some part of you that wishes you were someone else, and when, for a millisecond, you get that wish, it's a miracle.
Jodi Picoult
It was no coincidence, that fear could move a person to extremes, just as seamlessly as love. They were the conjoined twins of emotion: If you didn't know what was at stake to lose, you had nothing to fight for.
Jodi Picoult
Families were never what you wanted them to be. We all wanted what we couldn't have: the perfect child, the doting husband, the mother who wouldn't let go. We live in our grown-up dollhouses completely unaware that, at any moment, a hand might come in and change around everything we'd become accustomed to.
Jodi Picoult
There are millions of people in the world, and the spirits will see that most of them you never have to meet. But there are one or two you are tied to, and the spirits will cross you back and forth, threading so many knots until they catch and you finally get it right.
Jodi Picoult
I have no idea what Andrew might have done, and I do not ask. She believes that I can fix this, and like always, that's enough to make me think that I can. I'll take care of it,: I say, when what I really mean is: I'll take care of you.
Jodi Picoult
I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same.
Jodi Picoult
Traveling is all very well and good as long as you knew there is a place or person you can call home
Jodi Picoult
It was nice not having to be the one in control, for a little while. It was nice to be the one who was protected, instead of the one who'd been protecting eveyone else.
Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why people never say what they mean. It's like the immigrants who come to a country and learn the language but are completely baffled by idioms. (Seriously, how could anyone who isn't a native English speaker 'get the picture,' so to speak, and not assume it has something to do with a photo or a painting?)
Jodi Picoult
My mother walks forward. She's crying, but there's a smile on her face. For God's sake, is it any wonder I can't ever understand what you people are feeling?
Jodi Picoult
