More quotes by Jodi Picoult
There is no one truth. There’s only what happened, based on how you perceive it.
Jodi Picoult
Can you imagine what it would be like to know that your life was just going to be a series of days that were all the same, that were do-overs?
Jodi Picoult
There are always sides. There is always a winner and a loser. For every person who gets, there's someone who must give.
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
But that's what love is, isn't it? When it hurts you more to see someone suffer than it does to take the pain away?
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
Anna is the only proof I have that I was born into this family. Instead of dropped off on the doorstep by some Bonnie and Clyde couple that ran off into the night. On the surface, we’re polar opposites. Under the skin, though, we’re the same: people think they know what they’re getting, and they’re always wrong. (Jesse)
Jodi Picoult
No matter how much you consumed, you would not have your fill.
Jodi Picoult
Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.
Jodi Picoult
I can get 400 pages down the road and still not know the answer. What I do know is that I have really examined every facet of the situation, and I may not have changed my opinion but I have definitely forced myself to explore why it's my opinion.
Jodi Picoult
Lawyers were notorious for finding cases in the most unlikely places, especially ones with huge potential damagers awards.
Jodi Picoult
Life was what happened when all the what-if’s didn’t, when what you dreamed or hoped or – in this case – feared might come to pass passed by instead.
Jodi Picoult
If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?
Jodi Picoult
I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.
Jodi Picoult
This is what I like about photographs. They're proof that once, even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect.
Jodi Picoult
When you are a kid you have your own language, and unlike French or Spanish or whatever you start learning in fourth grade, this one you are born with, and eventually lose...Kids think with their brains cracked wide open becoming an adult...is only a slow sewing it shut.
Jodi Picoult
Suddenly this is all too hard. I am tired of putting up walls. I want someone with the strength - and the honesty - to break them down.
Jodi Picoult
Here I am, wasting away inside a book I wish I could escape, and all she wants to do is stay in the story. If I could talk to this girl Delilah, I’d ask her why on earth she would ever trade a single second of the world she’s in for the one in which I’m stuck
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
She had loved him. He knew this he had never doubted it. But she had also asked him to kill her. If you love someone that much, you did not lay that sort of burden on him for the rest of his life.
Jodi Picoult
