Jodi Picoult
I sometimes wonder if it is just me, or if there are other women who figure out where they are supposed to be by going nowhere.
Jodi Picoult
History could hover, like a faint perfume or a memory stamped on the back of one's eyelids.
Jodi Picoult
If you've lived through it, you already know there are no words that will ever come close to describing it, and if you didn't - you will never understand.
Jodi Picoult
You couldn't have strength without weakness, you couldn't have light without dark, you couldn't have love without loss
Jodi Picoult
What’s the difference between spending your life trying to be invisible, or pretending to be the person you think everyone wants you to be? Either way, you’re faking.

My teacher in first grade said that long ago people used to believe all kinds of things, because they didn't know any better. Like you shouldn't take a bath, because it could make you sick. And then someone saw germs under a microscope and started to think differently. You can believe something really hard, and still be wrong. (Faith White)

The Lord turned water into wine. All I'm suggesting is a trip to the grocery store.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
A duck walks into a bar and the bartender asks, what'll it be? The duck doesn't answer because it's a duck.
Jodi Picoult
But mostly I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet. I still loved him. It felt like anything else permanent that has gone missing a lost tooth, a severed leg. You might know better, but that doesn’t keep your tongue from poling at the hole in your gum, or your phantom limb from aching.
Jodi Picoult
The scariest thing in the world is thinking someone you love is going to die.
Jodi Picoult
Accidents did not just happen. From time to time they were carefully plotted, calculated, and arranged to one’s advantage-all, of course, under the cloak of happenstance.
Jodi Picoult
If you don't know there's an alternative, you can't miss it
Jodi Picoult
if you tell yourself you feel fine, you will.
Jodi Picoult
I started writing when I had three kids under the age of 4. I used to write every ten minutes I got to sit in front of a computer. Now, when I have more time, I function the same way: if it's writing time, I write.
Jodi Picoult
Parenting is really just a matter of tracking, of hoping your kids do not get so far ahead you can no longer see their next moves.
Jodi Picoult
I know better than most people that a criminal isn't always a thug in a black leather jacket with a big brand on his forehead to warn us away. Criminals sit next to us on the bus. They pack our groceries and cash our paychecks for us and teach our children. They look no different from you or me. And that's why they get away with it.
