Sara: You are so brave, I tell her, and then I smile. When I grow up, I want to be just like you. To my surprise, Kate shakes her head hard. Her voice is a feather, a thread. No Mommy, she says. You'd be sick.

Jodi Picoult
I’d much rather pretend I’m somewhere else, and any time I open the pages of a book, that happens.

What if what you know isn’t what people want to hear?
Jodi Picoult
When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't.

Jodi Picoult
If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?

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
Crazy girls did this, girls who walked like zombies through YA novels. But. Trixie felt the sting of the skin as it split, the sweet welling rise of blood. It hurt, though not as much as everything else idd.
Jodi Picoult
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.
Jodi Picoult
The music we listen to may not define who we are. But it’s a damn good start.
Jodi Picoult
and he suddenly knew that if she killed herself, he would die. Maybe not immediately, maybe not with the same blinding rush of pain, but it would happen. You couldn't live for very long without a heart.
Jodi Picoult
and another claimed it was inherited through a parent who was a carrier of the defective gene. I had always assumed the latter was the case with Claire. After all, surely a child who grew out of grief would be born with a heavy heart.
Jodi Picoult
I know you love me. The question is, how much?
Jodi Picoult
She thought of death like the seam of a hem: each time you lose someone close, it unraveled a little. You could still go along with your life, but you'd be forever tripping over something you previously took for granted.
Jodi Picoult
This is what I like about photographs. They're proof that once, even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect.
