More quotes by Jodi Picoult
I felt a splinter of guilt wedge into my heart. Charlotte had hurt me in return, I'd hurt Rob. Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late we've wounded the people we're trying to protect.
Jodi Picoult
Kids think with their brains cracked wide open becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut.
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
What could it be like to find out, in a matter of minutes, that the person you believed the sun rose and set on was not the person you'd thought?
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
You okay in there? No, I'm hanging from a closet rod.
Jodi Picoult
I tell you this as a cautionary tale: beware of getting what you want. It's bound to disappoint you.
Jodi Picoult
It was possible that a miracle was not something that happened to you, but rather something that didn’t.
Jodi Picoult
No matter who you are, there is always some part of you that wishes you were someone else, and when, for a millisecond, you get that wish, it's a miracle.
Jodi Picoult
How do you walk into someone's life again after twenty-eight years? How do you pick up, when you were too young to know where you left off.
Jodi Picoult
The answer is that there is no good answer. So as parents, as doctors, as judges, and as a society, we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night--because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than law.
Jodi Picoult
I think many of my books, including Handle with Care, including My Sister's Keeper circle back to how far are we willing to go for the people we love? I think love changes the way we think. It's the thing that takes you out of what your normal set of beliefs would be.
Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why it's a sin if you love something and want to keep it from having to suffer.
Jodi Picoult
I know what it's like when the things you believe make you feel like you're on the outside looking in.
Jodi Picoult
A sacrament--like marriage--means living a life better than your natural instincts, so that you're modeling God. And God never gives up.
Jodi Picoult
Then they scrambled through the window and into the darkness, determined to turn themselves into what they were not.
