More quotes by Jodi Picoult
Your hand fits mine like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle
Jodi Picoult
It was nice not having to be the one in control, for a little while. It was nice to be the one who was protected, instead of the one who'd been protecting eveyone else.
Jodi Picoult
You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.
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.
Jodi Picoult
She understood how a world jammed with phones, email, and faxes could still leave you feeling utterly alone.
Jodi Picoult
You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel the world give way beneath you.
Jodi Picoult
I wondered about the explorers who'd sailed their ships to the end of the world. How terrified they must have been when they risked falling over the edge how amazed to discover, instead, places they had seen only in their dreams.
Jodi Picoult
Maybe honesty is overvalued. What's truly priceless is picking out from a stream of falsehoods the ones you most need to hear.
Jodi Picoult
How do you tell someone that you weren't the person he thought you were? And more importantly, how did you tell him that you'd meant the things you'd said, when everything else about you turned out to be a lie.
Jodi Picoult
One person's trauma is another's loss of innocence.
Jodi Picoult
love doesn't follow the rules... nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable.
Jodi Picoult
The truth doesn't always set you free people prefer to believe prettier, neatley wrapped lies
Jodi Picoult
My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.
Jodi Picoult
Mistakes are something that happen by accident. You didn't walk out the door one morning and fall into some guy's bed. You thought about it, for a while. You made that choice.
Jodi Picoult
I learned a long time ago with you that folks who were trying to be kind would rather do it with a macaroni-and-cheese bake than any personal involvement. You hand off a serving dish and you've done your job - no need to get personally involved, and your conscience is clean. Food is the currency of aid.
Jodi Picoult
Q: How would you like your eggs in the morning? A: Unfertilized
Jodi Picoult
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
Jodi Picoult
Mistakes are like the memories you hide in an attic: old love letters from relationships that tanked, photos of dead relatives, toys from a childhood you miss. Out of sight is out of mind, but somewhere deep inside you know they still exist. And you also know that you're avoiding them.
Jodi Picoult
The bottom line in both cases is that people don't change that no matter how charming you are and how fiercely you love, you cannot turn a person into something she's not.
Jodi Picoult
If you live in each other's pockets long enough, you're related.
Jodi Picoult
