Love is not an equation, it is not a contract, and it is not a happy ending. Love is the slate under the chalk, the ground that buildings rise, and the oxygen in the air. It is the place you come back to, no matter where your headed

When she wanted to escape her life, she read books
Jodi Picoult
Since it had gotten so quiet in the room that you could hear the sound of your own doubts.
Jodi Picoult
We Pisces, we're a special breed.
Jodi Picoult
The problem isn’t with rock lyrics, it’s with the fabric of this society itself.

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.

Even the most beautiful things can be toxic.
Jodi Picoult
I think that ordinary people who are placed in extraordinary circumstances find themselves pushed beyond their limits, and learn new truths about themselves.
Jodi Picoult
The first time someone I loved left me behind...I didn't know how my family would balance. We had been such a sturdy little end table, four solid legs. I was sure we would now be off-kilter, always unstable. Until one day I looked more closely, and realized that we had simply become a stool.
Jodi Picoult
There was a fine line between love and hate you heard that cliche all the time. But no one told you that the moment you crossed it would be the one you least expected. You'd fall in love and crack open a secret door to let your soul mate in. You just never expected such closeness one day to feel like an intrusion.
Jodi Picoult
Me, I was already jaded and tarnished, skeptical that a fantasy world could keep reality at bay.
Jodi Picoult
What you notice is the loneliness. Daniel started to isolate himself, because it hurt less than being pushed away.
Jodi Picoult
If you choose to be looking for something, you'd better be ready for whatever it is you are find. Because it may not be what you've been expecting.
Jodi Picoult
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
Jodi Picoult
Time is an optical illusion- never quite as soild or strong as we think it is
Jodi Picoult
Motherhood is a Sisyphean task. You finish sewing one seam shut, and another rips open. I have come to believe that this life I'm wearing will never really fit.
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.
Jodi Picoult
You can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to lose the people you love.
Jodi Picoult
A heroin-thin boy with enough rings in his eyebrows to resemble a shower curtain rod.
Jodi Picoult
Suddenly this is all too hard. I am tired of putting up walls. I want someone with the strength - and the honesty - to break them down.
Jodi Picoult
But there's an enormous difference between an audience that's watching you because they can't wait to see what comes next and an audience that's watching you because they're waiting for you to fail.
Jodi Picoult
