More quotes by Jodi Picoult
We have been naive enough to believe that we were invincible that we could run blind through the hairpin turns of life at treacherous speeds and never crash.
Jodi Picoult
I think many of my books, including Handle with Care, including My Sister's Keeper circle back to how far are we willing to go for the people we love? I think love changes the way we think. It's the thing that takes you out of what your normal set of beliefs would be.

Jodi Picoult
I think people do things all the time in the name of love that they shouldn't be doing - such is the nature of us.
Jodi Picoult
in nineteen minutes you can norder a pizza and have it delivered. You can read a story to a child or have your oil changed. You can walk a mile. You can sew a hem. In nineteen minutes you can get revenge.
Jodi Picoult
I remember for that one moment, I believe I was hitch hiking on one of those comets, falling so fast that I'd surely burn away before I ever hit the ground.
Jodi Picoult
There is a gulf as wide as an ocean between should and want, and I am drowning in it.
Jodi Picoult
After a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures can never be anything but broken.
Jodi Picoult
People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.
Jodi Picoult
The process of growing up was nothing more than figuring out what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face.
Jodi Picoult
[I] don't think I was trying to kill myself. I just wanted to hurt, and understand exactly whay I was hurting. This made sense: you cut, you felt pain, period.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes when you find something you didn't really realize you were looking for, you just don't know how to react.
Jodi Picoult
i know what it's like to wake up thinking you will be able to cast the people who play the starring roles in your life, only to realize that you have to watch it from the audience.
