Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
People ask all the time how I'm doing, but the truth is, they don't really want to know.
Jodi Picoult
There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations.
Jodi Picoult
You can't win. Either you have the baby and wear your pain on the outside, or you don't have the baby, and you keep that ache in you forever
Jodi Picoult
I know you love me. The question is, how much?
Jodi Picoult
I don't know what he means by that, but I nod and smile at him. You'd be surprised at how far that response can get you in a conversation where you are completely confused.
Jodi Picoult
The right idea is the one you can't stop thinking about the one that's in your head first thing in the morning.
Jodi Picoult
Isn't it amazing how, when you strip away everything, people are so much alike?
Jodi Picoult
Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.
Jodi Picoult
If you live in each other's pockets long enough, you're related.
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
Many trees have died so that the Catholic Church can preach against homosexuality.
