You give her all your french fries, even when she won't give you back onion rings,' Sophie says. 'And when you say her name it sounds different.' How?' Sophie thinks. 'Like it's covered with blankets.

More quotes by Jodi Picoult
Ross held her face between his hands and kissed her. He tasted doubt on her tongue and pain on the roof of her mouth. He swallowed these, and drank again. Consumed, she had no choice but to see how empty he was inside, and how, sip by sip, she filled him.
Jodi Picoult
Words are like eggs dropped from great heights you can no more call them back than ignore the mess they leave when they fall.
Jodi Picoult
I know what love is. When you find the person you are supposed to love, bells ring and fireworks go off in your head and you can't find the words to speak and you think about him all the time. When you find the person you are supposed to love, you will know by staring deeply into their eyes.
Jodi Picoult
All any of us wanted, really, was to know that we counted. That someone else's life would not have been as rich without us here.
Jodi Picoult
You know how every now and then, you have a moment where your whole life stretches out ahead of you like a forked road, and even as you choose one gritty path you've got your eyes on the other the whole time, certain that you're making a mistake.
Jodi Picoult
If you loved someone, really loved them, would you let them go?
Jodi Picoult
There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations.
Jodi Picoult
There was a fine line between love and hate you heard that cliche all the time. But no one told you that the moment you crossed it would be the one you least expected. You'd fall in love and crack open a secret door to let your soul mate in. You just never expected such closeness one day to feel like an intrusion.
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
I imagine having that sixth sense, the certainty that what I'm looking for is within reach, even if it's still hidden.
Jodi Picoult
Families were never what you wanted them to be. We all wanted what we couldn't have: the perfect child, the doting husband, the mother who wouldn't let go. We live in our grown-up dollhouses completely unaware that, at any moment, a hand might come in and change around everything we'd become accustomed to.
Jodi Picoult
The bottom line is that we never fall for the people we're supposed to.
Jodi Picoult
I remember for that one moment, I believe I was hitch hiking on one of those comets, falling so fast that I'd surely burn away before I ever hit the ground.
Jodi Picoult
I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.
Jodi Picoult
She had never been a pretty crier. She sobbed the way she did everything else - with passion and excess.
Jodi Picoult
You live and let live, eventually that becomes enough.
Jodi Picoult
We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that's exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which.
Jodi Picoult
What I really want to tell him is to pick up that baby of his and hold her tight, to set the moon on the edge of her crib and to hang her name up in the stars.
Jodi Picoult
There's a lot of things you can't see if you aren't' looking.
Jodi Picoult
Unlike Elise, who could discover parts of a person they didn't even know were absent, you specialized in tangible, but that, I feared, was only a matter of time.
