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.

You okay in there? No, I'm hanging from a closet rod.
Jodi Picoult
You couldn't have strength without weakness, you couldn't have light without dark, you couldn't have love without loss
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.
Jodi Picoult
Dark matter has a gravitation effect on other objects. You can't see it, you can't feel it, but you can watch something being pulled in its direction.
Jodi Picoult
Then they scrambled through the window and into the darkness, determined to turn themselves into what they were not.

Coop kissed me deeply, drawing my breath from me in a long, sweet ribbon. Perhaps I haven't mentioned it, but I'm an expert when it comes to first steps. Are you, I said. Then tell me how. You close your eyes, Coop answered, and jump.
Jodi Picoult
It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.
Jodi Picoult
When you finally start to write something, do not let yourself stop...even when you are convinced it's the worst garbage ever. This is the biggest caveat for beginning writers. Instead, force yourself to finish what you began, and THEN go back and edit it.
Jodi Picoult
I think many of my books, including Handle with Care, including My Sister's Keeper circle back to how far are we willing to go for the people we love? I think love changes the way we think. It's the thing that takes you out of what your normal set of beliefs would be.
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
What makes you walk past thirty-thousand people without a second glance, and then you look at the thirty-thousandth-and-first person and know you'll never take your eyes off her again?
Jodi Picoult
Doing the right thing for someone else occasionally means doing something that feels wrong to you.
Jodi Picoult
I think people do things all the time in the name of love that they shouldn't be doing - such is the nature of us.
Jodi Picoult
No one ever asks a kid for her opinion, but it seems to me that growing up means you stop hoping for the best, and start expecting the worst.
Jodi Picoult
It was no coincidence, that fear could move a person to extremes, just as seamlessly as love. They were the conjoined twins of emotion: If you didn't know what was at stake to lose, you had nothing to fight for.
Jodi Picoult
I found plain truth very interesting.
Jodi Picoult
The only person who suffers, when you squirrel alway all that hate, is you.
Jodi Picoult
You don't make peace only with G-d. You make it with people. Sin isn't global. It's personal. If you do wrong to someone, the only way to fix that is to go to that same person and do right by him.
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
It's disappointing to know that someone can see right through you.
