Jodi Picoult
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.
Jodi Picoult
Relationships always sounded so physically painful: you fell in love, you broke a heart, you lost your head. Was it any wonder that people came through the experience with battle scars?
Jodi Picoult
...when people we love make choices, we don't always understand them. But we can go on loving them, just the same. It isn't a matter of comprehension. It's forgiveness.
Jodi Picoult
Maybe Fate isn't the pond you swim in but the fisherman floating on top of it, letting you run the line wild until you are weary enough to be reeled back in.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
