More quotes by Jodi Picoult
You can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to lose the people you love.
Jodi Picoult
Mistakes are something that happen by accident. You didn't walk out the door one morning and fall into some guy's bed. You thought about it, for a while. You made that choice.
Jodi Picoult
No one ever asks a kid for her opinion, but it seems to me that growing up means you stop hoping for the best, and start expecting the worst.
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
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
Your hand fits mine like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle
Jodi Picoult
I have loved before, but it didn’t feel like this. I have kissed before, but it didn’t burn me alive. Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it’s an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that, even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.
Jodi Picoult
Researching 'Lone Wolf,' I was amazed at how thoughtful and intelligent these animals are. There has never been a documented attack against a human by a wolf that wasn't provoked by the human.
Jodi Picoult
I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own?
Jodi Picoult
I can give or take elephants I never can find the cheetah-but the zebras captivate me. They'd be one of the few things that would fit if we were lucky enough to live in a world that's black or white.
Jodi Picoult
Life can change in an instant don't be so worried about the future that you forget to celebrate what you have right now.
Jodi Picoult
I tell you this as a cautionary tale: beware of getting what you want. It's bound to disappoint you.
Jodi Picoult
anyone can understand anything. You just have to know how to present your information.
Jodi Picoult
But that's what love is, isn't it? When it hurts you more to see someone suffer than it does to take the pain away?
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
On the surface, we're polar opposites. Under the skin, though, we're the same: people think they know what they're getting, and they're always wrong.
Jodi Picoult
Justification is a remarkable thing-takes all those solid lines and blurs them, so that honor becomes as supple as a willow, and ethics burst like soap bubbles.
Jodi Picoult
For me, every book is a journey - questioning a really difficult topic that most people don't want to talk about, much less write about. And that's what I need that works for me as a writer.
Jodi Picoult
Just because fate had thrown another obstacle in my way didn't mean I had to give up my dreams.
Jodi Picoult
I wondered about the explorers who'd sailed their ships to the end of the world. How terrified they must have been when they risked falling over the edge how amazed to discover, instead, places they had seen only in their dreams.
