More quotes by Jodi Picoult
We have been naive enough to believe that we were invincible that we could run blind through the hairpin turns of life at treacherous speeds and never crash.
Jodi Picoult
Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.
Jodi Picoult
Who spit in your porridge?
Jodi Picoult
To say there had been a loss was ludicrous one lost a shoe or a set of keys. You did not suffer the death of a child and say there was a loss. There was a catastrophe. A devastation. A hell.
Jodi Picoult
You know someone's right for you when the things they don't have to say are even more important than the things they do.
Jodi Picoult
It's disappointing to know that someone can see right through you.

You came back fighting and furious at me. You told me you'd been looking for mermaids, and I interrupted you. [...] I said that next time, you had to take me with you. Was there a next time? Well, you tell me, you don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?

My mother moves so fast I do not even see it coming. But she slaps my face hard enough to make my head snap backward. She leaves a print that stains me long after it’s faded. Just so you know: shame is five-fingered.
Jodi Picoult
You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.
Jodi Picoult
I personally subscribe to the belief that normal is just a setting on the dryer.
Jodi Picoult
There was a fine line between love and hate you heard that cliche all the time. But no one told you that the moment you crossed it would be the one you least expected. You'd fall in love and crack open a secret door to let your soul mate in. You just never expected such closeness one day to feel like an intrusion.
Jodi Picoult
a guardian ad litem... GAL is appointed by a court to be a child's advocate during legal proceedings that involve a minor. You don't have to be a lawyer to be trained as a GAL, but you have to have a moral compass and a heart. Which, actually probably renders most lawyers unqualified for the job.
Jodi Picoult
There are two reasons not to tell the truth--becuase lying will get you what you want, and because lying will keep someone from getting hurt.
Jodi Picoult
The way I challenge myself is by writing something that really engages me, that doesn't have an easy answer, and isn't always an easy book to write.
Jodi Picoult
You can believe something really hard,' Faith says, 'and still be wrong.
