What you didn't tell someone was just as debilitating as what you did.
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
When the door opens, I realize that the only thing worse than waiting is the moment you realize a decision has been made.
Jodi Picoult
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.
Jodi Picoult
I had absolutely no trauma in my childhood. If anyone ever assumed that my books were autobiographical, they'd be sorely disappointed, because none of these things happened to me.
Jodi Picoult
Kid says to me, You play baseball? What position? Left out? and gets a big laugh from the rest of the class. Kid is only one person out of 6.792 billion humans on this planet. This planet is only one-eighth of the solar system, whose sun is one of two billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Put it that way, the comment loses it's importance.
Jodi Picoult
I close my eyes, thinking that there is nothing like an embrace after an absence, nothing like fitting my face into the curve of his shoulder and filling my lungs with the scent of him.
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
No child really chooses his religion it is just the luck of the draw which blanket of beliefs you are wrapped in.
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
Believe me, Being gay is not a choice. Noone would choose to make life harder than it has to be.
Jodi Picoult
Many people have a novel inside them, but most don't bother to get it out.
Jodi Picoult
It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.
Jodi Picoult
Traveling is all very well and good as long as you knew there is a place or person you can call home
Jodi Picoult
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
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 wanted him to feel what I felt when I was with him: that incredible combination of comfort, decadence, and wonder the knowledge that, with just a single taste of him, I was addicted.
Jodi Picoult
Nobody, who looks at a shard of flint lying beneath a rock ledge, or who finds a splintered log by the side of the road would ever find magic in their solitude. But in the right circumstances, if you bring them together, you can start a fire that consumes the world.
Jodi Picoult
An apology with a defense built in isn't much of an apology
Jodi Picoult
There was no easy switch that she could flip to stem the flow of feelings, no way to drain the memories that pooled like acid in her stomach because her heart no longer knew what to do with them.
Jodi Picoult
