Jodi Picoult
What could it be like to find out, in a matter of minutes, that the person you believed the sun rose and set on was not the person you'd thought?
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
Bleeding heart, he’d called her. Well. He should know. He’d been the first to rip it to pieces.
Jodi Picoult
Logical thinking keeps you from wasting time worrying, or hoping. It prevents disappointment. Imagination, on the other hand, only gets you hyped up over things that will never realistically happen.
Jodi Picoult
There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found.
Jodi Picoult
