Love [is] supposed to move mountains, to make the world go round, to be all you need, but it [falls] apart at the deatils. It [can't] save a single person.

More quotes by 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 have never understood why it is called losing a child. No parent is that careless. We all know exactly where our sons and daughters are we just don't necessarily want them to be there
Jodi Picoult
Why are terms of endearment always food? Honey, cookie, sugar, pumpkin. Its not like caring about someone is enough to actually sustain you.
Jodi Picoult
Since it had gotten so quiet in the room that you could hear the sound of your own doubts.
Jodi Picoult
You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control.
Jodi Picoult
If you don't know there's an alternative, you can't miss it
Jodi Picoult
I imagine the touch of someone who loves you so much, he cannot bear to watch you sleep and so you wake up with his hand on your heart.
Jodi Picoult
We Pisces, we're a special breed.
Jodi Picoult
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
Jodi Picoult
There are so many ways a family can unravel. All it takes is a tiny slash of selfishness, a rip of greed, a puncture of bad luck. And yet, woven tightly, family can be the strongest bond imaginable.
Jodi Picoult
Instead of plotting the demise of the traditional family, as some politicians and religious leaders would have you believe, gay people mow their lawns and watch 'American Idol' and video their children's concerts and have the same hopes and dreams that their straight counterparts do.
Jodi Picoult
I felt a splinter of guilt wedge into my heart. Charlotte had hurt me in return, I'd hurt Rob. Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late we've wounded the people we're trying to protect.
Jodi Picoult
The Inuit say that the stars are holes in heaven. And every time we see the people we loved shining through, we know they're happy.
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
Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.
Jodi Picoult
By definition, love made you better than good enough it redefined perfection to include your traits, instead of excluding them.
Jodi Picoult
If I have gained anything over these months, it is the knowledge there is no starting over- only living with the mistakes you've made.
Jodi Picoult
I love getting fan mail. Often, as a writer, you never know what your readers think of a book... you get critical reviews and sales figures, but none of that is the same as knowing you've made a person stay up all night reading, or helped them have a good cry, or really touched their life.
Jodi Picoult
People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.
Jodi Picoult
I am an activist. I have a really big pulpit with my fiction and I love knowing that I can make people think.
