Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
A heroin-thin boy with enough rings in his eyebrows to resemble a shower curtain rod.
Jodi Picoult
Objection! Metz shouts. Grounds? the judge asks. Well...he's my witness!
Jodi Picoult
Just because you didn't put a name to something did not mean it wasn't there.
Jodi Picoult
If you want something to be true badly enough, you can rewrite it that way, in your head. You can even start to believe it.
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
As it turned out, though, it was a lot easier to say that someone deserved to die for what they did than it was to take the responsibility to make that happen.
Jodi Picoult
Listen, I would say, this is not how I thought our lives would go and may be we cannot find our way out of this alley. But there is no one I'd rather be lost with.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf. There is only so much you can pile onto it before something falls off an edge and you are left to pick up the pieces.
Jodi Picoult
There are just as many stories to be told in the dark spots s there are in the bright ones.
Jodi Picoult
There are some dreams that get stuck between your teeth when you sleep, so that when you open your mouth to yawn awake they fly right out of you.
