More quotes by Jodi Picoult
Beliefs are the roads we take to our dreams. Believe you can do something-or believe you can't-and you'll be right everytime.
Jodi Picoult
But this is inaccurate. A runaway train is an accident. Me, I'll jump in front of the tracks. I'll even tie myself down in front of the speeding engine. There's some illogical part of me hat still believes if you want Superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving.
Jodi Picoult
The wolves knew when it was time to stop looking for what they'd lost, to focus instead on what was yet to come.
Jodi Picoult
I think we deserve a happily-ever-after. If anyone ever did, it's us.
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
How could I not have seen this coming, when I looked into your eyes and vowed to be with you forever?
Jodi Picoult
Just because you didn't put a name to something did not mean it wasn't there.
Jodi Picoult
It takes two people to make a friendship work
Jodi Picoult
Maybe Fate isn't the pond you swim in but the fisherman floating on top of it, letting you run the line wild until you are weary enough to be reeled back in.
Jodi Picoult
There was a fine line between love and hate you heard that cliche all the time. But no one told you that the moment you crossed it would be the one you least expected. You'd fall in love and crack open a secret door to let your soul mate in. You just never expected such closeness one day to feel like an intrusion.
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
There are so many ways a family can unravel. All it takes is a tiny slash of selfishness, a rip of greed, a puncture of bad luck. And yet, woven tightly, family can be the strongest bond imaginable.
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 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
Home is not a place, but rather, the people you love
Jodi Picoult
I shouldn't have eavesdropped, but sometimes, that's the only way to find out the truth.
Jodi Picoult
Life isn't nearly as stable as we want it to be.
Jodi Picoult
When heaven breaks, who fixes it?
Jodi Picoult
I am Alice in Wonderland', Josie thought. 'Watch me fall.
Jodi Picoult
Kid says to me, You play baseball? What position? Left out? and gets a big laugh from the rest of the class. Kid is only one person out of 6.792 billion humans on this planet. This planet is only one-eighth of the solar system, whose sun is one of two billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Put it that way, the comment loses it's importance.
