More quotes by Jodi Picoult
There's no way to explain to a child that the line between good and evil isn't nearly as black and white as a fairy tale would lead you to believe. That an ordinary person can turn into a villain, under the right circumstances. That sometimes we dragon slayers do things we aren't proud of.
Jodi Picoult
When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.
Jodi Picoult
Love was that way. You could not render it in black or white. It always came down to the strange, blended shades of grey.
Jodi Picoult
When she wanted to escape her life, she read books
Jodi Picoult
It doesn't take a whole long life to realize that what we deserve to have, we rarely get.
Jodi Picoult
Bleeding heart, he’d called her. Well. He should know. He’d been the first to rip it to pieces.
Jodi Picoult
We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just see them more clearly than others.
Jodi Picoult
All any of us wanted, really, was to know that we counted. That someone else's life would not have been as rich without us here.
Jodi Picoult
As a child, what I was missing was so much bigger to me than what I had. My mother-mythic, imaginary-was a deity and a superhero and a comfort all at once. If only I'd had her, surely, she would have been the answer to every problem if only I'd had her , she would have been the cure for everything that ever had gone wrong in my life.
Jodi Picoult
Missed opportunities were never superficial wounds they cut straight to the bone.
Jodi Picoult
I keep quite busy, walk 5 miles a day, and have an excellent hairdresser who keeps the gray out of my red hair.
Jodi Picoult
The answer is that there is no good answer. So as parents, as doctors, as judges, and as a society, we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night--because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than law.
Jodi Picoult
Anna is the only proof I have that I was born into this family. Instead of dropped off on the doorstep by some Bonnie and Clyde couple that ran off into the night. On the surface, we’re polar opposites. Under the skin, though, we’re the same: people think they know what they’re getting, and they’re always wrong. (Jesse)
Jodi Picoult
I don’t think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You’re just pulled to that person like true north, whether it’s good for you or bound to break your heart.
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
Because hate's just the flip side of love. Like heads and tails on a dime. If you don't know what it feels like to love someone, how would you know what hate is? One can't exist without the other.
Jodi Picoult
The problem isn’t with rock lyrics, it’s with the fabric of this society itself.
Jodi Picoult
The best thing about endings is knowing that just ahead is the daunting task to start over.
Jodi Picoult
What if what you know isn’t what people want to hear?
Jodi Picoult
Or in other words, it's the substance you've got when you start that determines the outcome.
