More quotes by Jodi Picoult
What makes you walk past thirty-thousand people without a second glance, and then you look at the thirty-thousandth-and-first person and know you'll never take your eyes off her again?
Jodi Picoult
See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it
Jodi Picoult
I don't believe in writer's block. Most of writer's block is having too much time on your hands. My mantra is that you can always edit a bad page you can't edit a blank page.
Jodi Picoult
Nowadays, I dont have expectations, and this way she beats them all.
Jodi Picoult
No matter who you are, there is always some part of you that wishes you were someone else, and when, for a millisecond, you get that wish, it's a miracle.
Jodi Picoult
Jacob's room is the place entropy goes to die.
Jodi Picoult
I know you love me. The question is, how much?
Jodi Picoult
The jury is supposed to be twelve peers, but technically that would mean every single person on the jury should have Asperger's syndrome, because then they'd really understand me.
Jodi Picoult
My teacher in first grade said that long ago people used to believe all kinds of things, because they didn't know any better. Like you shouldn't take a bath, because it could make you sick. And then someone saw germs under a microscope and started to think differently. You can believe something really hard, and still be wrong. (Faith White)
Jodi Picoult
Lawyers were notorious for finding cases in the most unlikely places, especially ones with huge potential damagers awards.
Jodi Picoult
Don't pay back in kind, pay back in kindness. If someone does wrong by you, do right by them.
Jodi Picoult
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
Jodi Picoult
Just because you had every right to feel sorry for yourself didn't mean you ever took the opportunity to do so.
Jodi Picoult
No matter how much you consumed, you would not have your fill.
Jodi Picoult
The person may have a scar, but it also means they have a story
Jodi Picoult
I imagine having that sixth sense, the certainty that what I'm looking for is within reach, even if it's still hidden.
Jodi Picoult
I had absolutely no trauma in my childhood. If anyone ever assumed that my books were autobiographical, they'd be sorely disappointed, because none of these things happened to me.
Jodi Picoult
There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found.
Jodi Picoult
You can blame your ugliness for keeping people at bay, when in reality you're crippled by the thought of letting another person close enough to popentially scar you even more deeply. You can tell yourself that it's safer to love someone who will never really love you back, because you can't lose someone you never had.
Jodi Picoult
I realize then that we never have children, we receive them. And sometimes it’s not for quite as long as we would have expected or hoped. But it is still far better than never having had those children at all.
