More quotes by Jodi Picoult
In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.
Jodi Picoult
My whole life was about her, what if her whole life wasn’t all about me?

You don't have to say I love you to say I love you, you said with a shrug. All you have to do is say my name and I know. ...Can't you hear it? you said. When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.
Jodi Picoult
I wanted him to feel what I felt when I was with him: that incredible combination of comfort, decadence, and wonder the knowledge that, with just a single taste of him, I was addicted.
Jodi Picoult
A place like this wears down everything, and tolerance is no exception. In here, coexistence passes for forgiveness. You do not learn to like something you abhor you come to live with it...You live and let live, and eventually that becomes enough.

I don't know the first thing about holding together a family, especially one that resembles an heirloom vase, shattered but glued back together for its beauty, and no one mentions that you can see the cracks as plain as day.
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.

I have always written about subjects that engage me - questions I can't answer myself. They apparently tend to be big moral and ethical issues!
Jodi Picoult
