More quotes by Jodi Picoult
To me gay rights is the last civil right that we have not granted in America and I think it's an enormous embarrassment.
Jodi Picoult
We'd sit with a big bowl of popcorn, wrapped together in a queen-size blanket, and would escape to a place where magic was ours for the taking, where men rescued the people they loved instead of abandoning them. A place where, no matter how bad things looked at that moment, there would always be a happy ending.
Jodi Picoult
If his voice hasn't been the melody of my life, it's been the bass line, so subtle you don't notice it until it's missing.
Jodi Picoult
I imagine how cool it would be if all small talk wasn't lies.
Jodi Picoult
And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade.
Jodi Picoult
And he made love to her, offering his body in both tenderness and anger, unsure which was the best way to pass her bits of his soul so that she could patch her own with it
Jodi Picoult
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
Jodi Picoult
You can widen the feet of a compass, but they are still attached at the top you can spin them away from each other, but you always wind up where you started.
Jodi Picoult
Peter was, simply, what a person would look like if you boiled down the most raw emotions and filtered them of any social contract. If you hurt, cry. If you rage, strike out. If you hope, get ready for a disappointment.
Jodi Picoult
There are millions of people in the world, and the spirits will see that most of them you never have to meet. But there are one or two you are tied to, and the spirits will cross you back and forth, threading so many knots until they catch and you finally get it right.
Jodi Picoult
But you could only remake your own future, not anyone else's, and for some people that just wasn't good enough.
Jodi Picoult
Torn between fear and something that resembled love, she wrestled with questions she never dreamed she would face: How could she leave? Then again, how could she stay?
Jodi Picoult
Remember when you were a little kid and you'd fall asleep in the car? And someone would carry you out and put you into bed, so that when you woke up in the morning, you knew automatically you were home again? That's what I think it's like to die.
Jodi Picoult
You get through it, you just never get over it
Jodi Picoult
I love meeting my readers - so the more I can talk to at one event the better!
Jodi Picoult
I felt a splinter of guilt wedge into my heart. Charlotte had hurt me in return, I'd hurt Rob. Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late we've wounded the people we're trying to protect.
Jodi Picoult
It was nice not having to be the one in control, for a little while. It was nice to be the one who was protected, instead of the one who'd been protecting eveyone else.
Jodi Picoult
Even though I don't write about things that come from my life because I'm lucky, and I live in a great place with great kids and, you know, a great husband, I think you can find threads of me in the characters, so that's really what being a writer is, probably.
Jodi Picoult
Unlike Elise, who could discover parts of a person they didn't even know were absent, you specialized in tangible, but that, I feared, was only a matter of time.
Jodi Picoult
I close my eyes, thinking that there is nothing like an embrace after an absence, nothing like fitting my face into the curve of his shoulder and filling my lungs with the scent of him.
Jodi Picoult
