Life can change in an instant.
Jodi Picoult
Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, and started being about who had the power to keep the faith. You said that the purpose of religion was to bring people together. But does it, really? Or does it-knowingly, purposefully, and intentionally--break them apart?
Jodi Picoult
Tradionally, parents made decisions for a child, because presumably they are looking out for his or her best interests. But if they are blinded, instead, by the best interests of another one of their children, the system breaks down.
Jodi Picoult
My first job was as an assistant in the local library. Self fulfilling prophecy?
Jodi Picoult
When a freedom is taken away from you, I suppose, you recognize it as a privilege, not a right.

Clearly God was in some kind of mood on my birthday.
Jodi Picoult
I think you're the only person who gets me. When I'm with you, the world doesn't feel like a problem I can't figure out. Please come to the dance, because you're my music.
Jodi Picoult
You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.
Jodi Picoult
What if the one I choose to discount is one who has been truly hurt?
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
Who spit in your porridge?
Jodi Picoult
I don't write the same book over and over - I think if I did that, I would stop writing. I couldn't write a series with the same character, and I couldn't write a romance novel over and over again that takes place at a different beach every year. That's not who I am.
Jodi Picoult
You know what the difference is between a dream and a goal?... A plan.
Jodi Picoult
Some people, they get down in a hole so deep they can't figure out what to hold on to.
Jodi Picoult
The ability to find sparks may be buried so deep in you that you stop believing there's a God. Until someone comes along, with so much light in her that you can't help but see your own, and when you're together,that light grows even brighter.
Jodi Picoult
Memories are like a still life painted by ten different student artists: some will be blue-based others red some will be as stark as Picasso and others as rich as Rembrandt some will be foreshortened and others distant. Recollections are in the eye of the beholder no two held up side by side will ever quite match.
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
Rest easy, real mothers. The very fact that you worry about being a good mom means that you already are one.
Jodi Picoult
Things don't always look as they seem.
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.
