More quotes by Jodi Picoult
So much of the language of love was like that: you devoured someone with your eyes, you drank in the sight of him, you swallowed him whole. Love was substance, broken down and beating through your bloodstream.
Jodi Picoult
Doctors put a wall up between themselves and their patients nurses broke it down.

Love makes life a little brighter

Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why people never say what they mean. It's like the immigrants who come to a country and learn the language but are completely baffled by idioms. (Seriously, how could anyone who isn't a native English speaker 'get the picture,' so to speak, and not assume it has something to do with a photo or a painting?)
Jodi Picoult
Life was what happened when all the what-if’s didn’t, when what you dreamed or hoped or – in this case – feared might come to pass passed by instead.
Jodi Picoult
Once you call something a story, it's set in stone. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end that can't be transformed, because by definition, if you do that, it's not the same story anymore
Jodi Picoult
A heroin-thin boy with enough rings in his eyebrows to resemble a shower curtain rod.
Jodi Picoult
Eventually, I told myself not to expect anything from him, and as a result it has gotten easier for me to take what comes.
Jodi Picoult
I can't do this to you,' he said, drawing back. Emily put her hand on his and pulled the gun to her temple. 'Then do it for me,' she said.
Jodi Picoult
Me, I was already jaded and tarnished, skeptical that a fantasy world could keep reality at bay.
Jodi Picoult
What makes you walk past thirty-thousand people without a second glance, and then you look at the thirty-thousandth-and-first person and know you'll never take your eyes off her again?
Jodi Picoult
I only just found you, I can't lose you now
Jodi Picoult
A fire can't burn forever. Eventually, it consumes itself.
