Polar north can't get away from a magnet the magnet finds it, no matter what.
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
There was a fine line between love and hate you heard that cliche all the time. But no one told you that the moment you crossed it would be the one you least expected. You'd fall in love and crack open a secret door to let your soul mate in. You just never expected such closeness one day to feel like an intrusion.
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

Even though I don't write about things that come from my life because I'm lucky, and I live in a great place with great kids and, you know, a great husband, I think you can find threads of me in the characters, so that's really what being a writer is, probably.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
When I'm with you, bells go off in my head like a moving truck that's backing up.
Jodi Picoult
I’d much rather pretend I’m somewhere else, and any time I open the pages of a book, that happens.
Jodi Picoult
There is no one truth. There’s only what happened, based on how you perceive it.
Jodi Picoult
It takes two people to make a friendship work
Jodi Picoult
In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.
Jodi Picoult
I think we deserve a happily-ever-after. If anyone ever did, it's us.
Jodi Picoult
A fire can't burn forever. Eventually, it consumes itself.
Jodi Picoult
They're fake bullets, so why do I feel like Im bleeding out?
Jodi Picoult
The joke's on them. One little hypodermic wont' be enough. Split a piece of wood, and they'll find me. Lift up a stone, and they'll find me. Look in the mirror, and they'll find me...If you really want to know what makes someone a killer, ask yourself what would make you do it.
Jodi Picoult
You don't have to say I love you to say I love you, you said with a shrug. All you have to do is say my name and I know. ...Can't you hear it? you said. When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.
Jodi Picoult
There are two reasons not to tell the truth--becuase lying will get you what you want, and because lying will keep someone from getting hurt.
