More quotes by Jodi Picoult
Coop kissed me deeply, drawing my breath from me in a long, sweet ribbon. Perhaps I haven't mentioned it, but I'm an expert when it comes to first steps. Are you, I said. Then tell me how. You close your eyes, Coop answered, and jump.

I'm not going to tell a person how to think, don't believe in that. What I want to do, when I write these books, is just to say don't be so sure of yourself. Let me pull the carpet out from underneath you, and let's see if you can still find the footing.
Jodi Picoult
I don't believe in writer's block. Most of writer's block is having too much time on your hands. My mantra is that you can always edit a bad page you can't edit a blank page.
Jodi Picoult
How could I not have seen this coming, when I looked into your eyes and vowed to be with you forever?
Jodi Picoult
love doesn't follow the rules... nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable.
Jodi Picoult
For me, every book is a journey - questioning a really difficult topic that most people don't want to talk about, much less write about. And that's what I need that works for me as a writer.
Jodi Picoult
You don't make peace only with G-d. You make it with people. Sin isn't global. It's personal. If you do wrong to someone, the only way to fix that is to go to that same person and do right by him.
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
The nurses, I have already learned, are the ones who give us the answers we’re desperate for. Unlike the doctors, who fidget like they need to be somewhere else, the nurses patiently answer us as if we are the first set of parents to ever have this kind of meeting with them, instead of the thousandth.
Jodi Picoult
Whether it was power they sought, or revenge, or love-well, those were all just different forms of hunger. The bigger the hole inside you, the more desperate you became to fill it.
Jodi Picoult
Three months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved someone, you’d let them go. But now I look at you, and I dreamed about Maggie, and I see that I’ve been wrong. If you really love someone, Allie, I think you have to take them back.
Jodi Picoult
She understood how a world jammed with phones, email, and faxes could still leave you feeling utterly alone.
Jodi Picoult
What he did was wrong. He doesn't deserve your love. But he does deserve your forgiveness, because otherwise he will grow like a weed in your heart until it's choked and overrun. The only person who suffers, when you squirrel away all that hate, is you.
Jodi Picoult
I had absolutely no trauma in my childhood. If anyone ever assumed that my books were autobiographical, they'd be sorely disappointed, because none of these things happened to me.
Jodi Picoult
Just because you had every right to feel sorry for yourself didn't mean you ever took the opportunity to do so.
Jodi Picoult
There is nothing worse than silence, strung like heavy beads on too delicate a conversation.
Jodi Picoult
How foolish it is to run away with a man who's already run away with someone else.
Jodi Picoult
newborns reminded her of tiny buddhas
Jodi Picoult
You can blame your ugliness for keeping people at bay, when in reality you're crippled by the thought of letting another person close enough to popentially scar you even more deeply. You can tell yourself that it's safer to love someone who will never really love you back, because you can't lose someone you never had.
Jodi Picoult
I think this is every mother's worst nightmare - something dreadful happening to her child.
