More quotes by Jodi Picoult
Pick ten strangers and stick them in a room, and ask them which of us they feel sorrier for - you or me - and we all know who they'll choose.
Jodi Picoult
Ross held her face between his hands and kissed her. He tasted doubt on her tongue and pain on the roof of her mouth. He swallowed these, and drank again. Consumed, she had no choice but to see how empty he was inside, and how, sip by sip, she filled him.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes it made her want to put her fist through glass other times, it made her cry a river.
Jodi Picoult
I could think whatever I wanted to, but realized that any promises I made myself were destined to be broken.
Jodi Picoult
Home is not a place, but rather, the people you love
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes, mothers say and do things that seem like they don't want their kids... but when you look more closely, you realize that they're doing those kids a favor. They're just trying to give them a better life.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
sometimes words are not big enough to contain all the feelings you are trying to pour into them.
Jodi Picoult
I try really hard to ask people to take a look at their bookshelves. Are there female writers on it? Gay writers? Writers of color? There should be.
Jodi Picoult
There was no black or white. Someone who had been good her entire life could, in fact, do something evil. People were just as capable of committing murder, under the right circumstances, as any monster.
Jodi Picoult
I think my writing has become cleaner.
Jodi Picoult
I have always written about subjects that engage me - questions I can't answer myself. They apparently tend to be big moral and ethical issues!
Jodi Picoult
Yes, she is. He looks at me, his face carved in pain. She is dying, Sara. She will die, either tonight or tomorrow or maybe a year from now if we're really lucky. You heard what Dr. Chance said. Arsenic's not a cure. It just postpones what's coming. My eyes fill up with tears. But I love her, I say, because that is reason enough.
Jodi Picoult
I love meeting my readers - so the more I can talk to at one event the better!
Jodi Picoult
Even the most beautiful things can be toxic.
Jodi Picoult
she told me she'd be a phoenix. The image of the mythical creature rising from the ashes glitters in my mind. They don't really exist. She said that depends on whether or not there's someone who can see them.
Jodi Picoult
People are always afraid of the unknown - and banding together against the Thing That Is Different From Us is a time-honoured tradition for rallying the masses.
