More quotes by Jodi Picoult
I wonder if what makes a family a family isn't doing everything right all the time but, instead, giving a second chance to the people you love who do things wrong.
Jodi Picoult
Researching 'Lone Wolf,' I was amazed at how thoughtful and intelligent these animals are. There has never been a documented attack against a human by a wolf that wasn't provoked by the human.
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
Writing is grunt work - you need to have self-motivation, perseverance, and faith... talent is the smallest part of it.
Jodi Picoult
You know how hind-sight is 20/20? Love is when you look back and wouldn't change anything.
Jodi Picoult
We have been naive enough to believe that we were invincible that we could run blind through the hairpin turns of life at treacherous speeds and never crash.
Jodi Picoult
Beliefs are the roads we take to our dreams. Believe you can do something-or believe you can't-and you'll be right everytime.
Jodi Picoult
The process of growing up was nothing more than figuring out what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
What if instead of focusing on what you don't have, you concentrate on what you've got?
Jodi Picoult
If you want something to be true badly enough, you can rewrite it that way, in your head. You can even start to believe it.
Jodi Picoult
The nurses, I have already learned, are the ones who give us the answers we’re desperate for. Unlike the doctors, who fidget like they need to be somewhere else, the nurses patiently answer us as if we are the first set of parents to ever have this kind of meeting with them, instead of the thousandth.
Jodi Picoult
Some people don't know what to do with an act of kindness.
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
Clearly God was in some kind of mood on my birthday.
Jodi Picoult
They're fake bullets, so why do I feel like Im bleeding out?
Jodi Picoult
The best thing about endings is knowing that just ahead is the daunting task to start over.
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
You can't pay a landlord in dogma.
Jodi Picoult
and another claimed it was inherited through a parent who was a carrier of the defective gene. I had always assumed the latter was the case with Claire. After all, surely a child who grew out of grief would be born with a heavy heart.
