I imagine how cool it would be if all small talk wasn't lies.
Jodi Picoult
Be kind to others before you take care of yourself make whoever you're with feel like they matter.
Jodi Picoult
This was the reason there was music, he realized. There were some feelings that didn't have words big enough to describe them.
Jodi Picoult
There was no black or white. Someone who had been good her entire life could, in fact, do something evil. People were just as capable of committing murder, under the right circumstances, as any monster.
Jodi Picoult
What if instead of focusing on what you don't have, you concentrate on what you've got?
Jodi Picoult
You don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?

I have no idea what Andrew might have done, and I do not ask. She believes that I can fix this, and like always, that's enough to make me think that I can. I'll take care of it,: I say, when what I really mean is: I'll take care of you.
Jodi Picoult
Like a missing tooth, sometimes an absence is more noticeable than a presence.
Jodi Picoult
You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control.
Jodi Picoult
I know better than most people that a criminal isn't always a thug in a black leather jacket with a big brand on his forehead to warn us away. Criminals sit next to us on the bus. They pack our groceries and cash our paychecks for us and teach our children. They look no different from you or me. And that's why they get away with it.
Jodi Picoult
Time is an optical illusion- never quite as soild or strong as we think it is
Jodi Picoult
But that's what love is, isn't it? When it hurts you more to see someone suffer than it does to take the pain away?
Jodi Picoult
Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.
Jodi Picoult
It's a fallacy that writers have to shut themselves up in their ivory towers to write. I have all these interruptions, three of which I gave birth to. If I was thrown for a loop every time I was distracted I could never get anything done.
Jodi Picoult
...when people we love make choices, we don't always understand them. But we can go on loving them, just the same. It isn't a matter of comprehension. It's forgiveness.
Jodi Picoult
A place like this wears down everything, and tolerance is no exception. In here, coexistence passes for forgiveness. You do not learn to like something you abhor you come to live with it...You live and let live, and eventually that becomes enough.
Jodi Picoult
In fairytales, when the mask came off, the handsome prince still loved the girl, no matter what -and that alone would turn her into a princess.
Jodi Picoult
I have loved before, but it didn’t feel like this. I have kissed before, but it didn’t burn me alive. Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it’s an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that, even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.
Jodi Picoult
Just when you think you've got your life by the reins, that's when it's most likely to run away with you.
Jodi Picoult
