Jodi Picoult
Image
I thought lightning wasn't supposed to strike in the same place twice....sure it does...but only if you're too dumb to move.
Jodi Picoult
Image
What she hadn't realized was that sometimes when your vision was that sharp and true, it could cut you. That only if you'd felt such fullness could you really understand the ache of being empty.
Jodi Picoult

There are just as many stories to be told in the dark spots s there are in the bright ones.

Image
Here's what I hadn't realized: the mother you haven't seen for almost thirty-six years isn't your mother, she's a stranger. Sharing DNA doesn't make you fast friends. This wasn't a joyous reunion. It was just awkward.

Image
The thinnest slice would be teeming with memories of a love so strong it turned you inside out and left you gasping, and would be an identical match to a slice stored in the heart of a soul mate.
Jodi Picoult
Image
You fell in love with someone because of the tilt of his smile, or because he could make you laugh, or in this case, because he made you believe that you were the only one who could save him.

Image
You know what the difference is between a dream and a goal?... A plan.
Jodi Picoult
Image
If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?
Jodi Picoult
Image
In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.

Sometimes all you need to live one more day is a good reason to stick around.
Jodi Picoult

Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.
Jodi Picoult
Image
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
Image
I would figure out, later, how to explain to my boss that, for me, Delia will never be a story, but a happy ending.

Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.

You don't love someone because they're perfect, she says. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not. I don't know how to respond to that it's like being told after thirty-five years that the sky, which I've seen as a brilliant blue, is in fact rather green.
