Jodi Picoult
If you've lived through it, you already know there are no words that will ever come close to describing it, and if you didn't - you will never understand.
Jodi Picoult
The bigger the hole inside you, the more desperate you became to fill it.
Jodi Picoult
When it comes to memories, the good and the bad never balance.
Jodi Picoult
The best thing about endings is knowing that just ahead is the daunting task to start over.
Jodi Picoult
What's worse ...? The devil you don't know ... or the devil you do?
Jodi Picoult
You might have to lose control before you could find out what you'd been missing.
Jodi Picoult
I would figure out, later, how to explain to my boss that, for me, Delia will never be a story, but a happy ending.
Jodi Picoult
