Jodi Picoult

Recollections are in the eye of the beholder no two held up side by side will ever quite match.
Jodi Picoult
She wanted him to tell her that when you love someone so hard and so fierce, it was all right to do things that you knew were wrong.
Jodi Picoult
There are just as many stories to be told in the dark spots s there are in the bright ones.
Jodi Picoult
It was a catch-22: If you didn’t put the trauma behind you, you couldn’t move on. But if you did put the trauma behind you, you willingly gave up your claim to the person you were before it happened.
Jodi Picoult
It turns out that sharing the past with someone is different from reliving it when you’re alone. It feels less like a wound, more like a poultice.
Jodi Picoult
and yet, you never knew wwhat you were capable of until you arrived at that given moment. Life was just a whole string of spots where you continued to surprise yourself.
Jodi Picoult
In fairytales, when the mask came off, the handsome prince still loved the girl, no matter what -and that alone would turn her into a princess.
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'd like to say that this time I'd kill myself too..but I've never had that kind of courage.
Jodi Picoult
As anyone who's ever contracted it knows, lies are an infectious disease. They slip under the almond slivers of your fingernails and into your bloodstream.
