More quotes by Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why people never say what they mean. It's like the immigrants who come to a country and learn the language but are completely baffled by idioms. (Seriously, how could anyone who isn't a native English speaker 'get the picture,' so to speak, and not assume it has something to do with a photo or a painting?)
Jodi Picoult
Even the most beautiful things can be toxic.
Jodi Picoult
Dylan Jerome, the lawyer admits, wanted to sue God for not caring enough about him.
Jodi Picoult
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
Jodi Picoult
Love makes life a little brighter
Jodi Picoult
You can touch everything and be connected to nothing.
Jodi Picoult
You can widen the feet of a compass, but they are still attached at the top you can spin them away from each other, but you always wind up where you started.
Jodi Picoult
On a really dark night, you can see between 1,000 and 1,500 stars, and there are millions more that haven't been discovered. It is so easy to think that the world revolves around you, but all you have to do is stare up at the sky to realize it isn't that way at all. -Brian Fitzgerald
Jodi Picoult
Love [is] supposed to move mountains, to make the world go round, to be all you need, but it [falls] apart at the deatils. It [can't] save a single person.
Jodi Picoult
You signed no contract to become a parent, but the responsibilities were written in invisible ink. There was a point when you had to support your child, even if no one else would. It was your job to rebuild the bridge, even if your child was the one who burned it in the first place.
Jodi Picoult
Frankly, I wonder who Frank was, and why he has an adverb all to himself.
Jodi Picoult
There was a difference between people looking at you because they wanted to be like you, and people looking at you because your misfortune brought them one rung higher.
Jodi Picoult
We'd sit with a big bowl of popcorn, wrapped together in a queen-size blanket, and would escape to a place where magic was ours for the taking, where men rescued the people they loved instead of abandoning them. A place where, no matter how bad things looked at that moment, there would always be a happy ending.
Jodi Picoult
Loneliness is a mirror, and recognizes itself.
Jodi Picoult
How do you know that you are not part of a book? That someone's not reading your story right now?
Jodi Picoult
Was there a language of loss? Did everyone who suffered speak a different dialect?
Jodi Picoult
How foolish it is to run away with a man who's already run away with someone else.
Jodi Picoult
Although you hadn't asked why, it had less to do with you not noticing than with you not wanting to hear the answer.
Jodi Picoult
The Inuit say that the stars are holes in heaven. And every time we see the people we loved shining through, we know they're happy.
Jodi Picoult
Bleeding heart, he’d called her. Well. He should know. He’d been the first to rip it to pieces.
