Jodi Picoult
And he made love to her, offering his body in both tenderness and anger, unsure which was the best way to pass her bits of his soul so that she could patch her own with it
Jodi Picoult
People ask all the time how I'm doing, but the truth is, they don't really want to know.
Jodi Picoult
As anyone who's ever contracted it knows, lies are an infectious disease. They slip under the almond slivers of your fingernails and into your bloodstream.
Jodi Picoult
People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.
Jodi Picoult
Life was what happened when all the what-ifs didn't.
Jodi Picoult
It is the things you cannot see coming that are strong enough to kill you.
Jodi Picoult
Everytime I look at a zebra, I can't figure out whether it's black with white stripes or white with black stripes, and that frustrates me.
Jodi Picoult
Being a teenager isn't all that different from being part of someone else's story. There's always someone who thinks they know better than you do
Jodi Picoult
