words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.

Bleeding heart, he’d called her. Well. He should know. He’d been the first to rip it to pieces.
Jodi Picoult
I am not keeping my distance because it is uncomfortable for me, but because it is uncomfortable for them.
Jodi Picoult
Scars are just a treasure map for pain you've buried too deep to remember.
Jodi Picoult
I grew up in a household where we didn't really talk about our feelings, and where the only reason you went to a doctor was because you'd accidentally cut off a limb with a chain saw.
Jodi Picoult
I think there are readers out there and I don't think the book is dead. And more importantly I don't think readers have to choose between literary and commercial fiction.
Jodi Picoult
From that point of view, I realized that my hole was not miles deep after all. My father, in fact, could stand on the bottom and it only reached up to his chest. Darkness, you know, is relative.
Jodi Picoult
Just 'cause you can't see me don't mean I gone away.
Jodi Picoult
The ability to find sparks may be buried so deep in you that you stop believing there's a God. Until someone comes along, with so much light in her that you can't help but see your own, and when you're together,that light grows even brighter.
Jodi Picoult
He smiles at me, and I am suddenly seventeen again - the year I realize that love doesn't follow the rules, the year I understood that nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable
Jodi Picoult
Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall.
Jodi Picoult
If she spoke, she would tell him the truth: she was not okay at all, but horribly empty, now that she knew what it was like to be filled.
Jodi Picoult
I know you love me. The question is, how much?
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
The best thing about endings is knowing that just ahead is the daunting task to start over.
Jodi Picoult
Music therapy, to me, is music performance without the ego. It's not about entertainment as much as its about empathizing. If you can use music to slip past the pain and gather insight into the workings of someone else's mind, you can begin to fix a problem.
Jodi Picoult
Every life has a soundtrack.
Jodi Picoult
Love makes life a little brighter
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
What if instead of focusing on what you don't have, you concentrate on what you've got?
Jodi Picoult
Anna is the only proof I have that I was born into this family. Instead of dropped off on the doorstep by some Bonnie and Clyde couple that ran off into the night. 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. (Jesse)
