More quotes by Jodi Picoult
The ability to find sparks may be buried so deep in you that you stop believing there's a God. Until someone comes along, with so much light in her that you can't help but see your own, and when you're together,that light grows even brighter.
Jodi Picoult
Some women are meant to change the world while others are meant to hold it together.
Jodi Picoult
Music therapy, to me, is music performance without the ego. It's not about entertainment as much as its about empathizing. If you can use music to slip past the pain and gather insight into the workings of someone else's mind, you can begin to fix a problem.
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.
Jodi Picoult
You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control.
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
Joseph Obomsawin, the elder I lived with there, says that those who turn to animals do so because humans have let them down.
Jodi Picoult
The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.
Jodi Picoult
But still, it looked completely natural, as if we had been kissing at the ends of sentences for ages, while the rest of the world was still hung up on punctuation.
Jodi Picoult
I learned a long time ago with you that folks who were trying to be kind would rather do it with a macaroni-and-cheese bake than any personal involvement. You hand off a serving dish and you've done your job - no need to get personally involved, and your conscience is clean. Food is the currency of aid.
Jodi Picoult
People work too hard to figure out the meaning of their lives. Why me, why now. The truth is, sometimes things don't happen to you for a reason. Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time for someone else.
Jodi Picoult
Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.
Jodi Picoult
If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?
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
Maybe if you spend your life pretending you're on a movie set, you don't ever have to admit that the walls are made out of paper and the food is plastic and the words in your mouth aren't really yours.
Jodi Picoult
My first job was as an assistant in the local library. Self fulfilling prophecy?
Jodi Picoult
and yet, you never knew wwhat you were capable of until you arrived at that given moment. Life was just a whole string of spots where you continued to surprise yourself.
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
For me, every book is a journey - questioning a really difficult topic that most people don't want to talk about, much less write about. And that's what I need that works for me as a writer.
Jodi Picoult
You give her all your french fries, even when she won't give you back onion rings,' Sophie says. 'And when you say her name it sounds different.' How?' Sophie thinks. 'Like it's covered with blankets.
