Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
One person's trauma is another's loss of innocence.
Jodi Picoult
Life could take on any number of shapes while you were busy fighting your own demons. But if you were changing at the same rate as the person beside you, nothing else really mattered. You became each other's constant.
Jodi Picoult
People are always afraid of the unknown - and banding together against the Thing That Is Different From Us is a time-honoured tradition for rallying the masses.
Jodi Picoult
You can tell yourself that you would be willing to lose everything you have in order to get something you want. But it's a catch-22: all of those things you're willing to lose are what make you recognizable. Lose them, and you've lost yourself.
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
Your hand fits mine like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle
Jodi Picoult
Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.
Jodi Picoult
Something still exists as long as there's someone around to remember it.
Jodi Picoult
How could you go about choosing something that would hold the half of your heart you had to bury?
