More quotes by Jodi Picoult
There are some things, I think, you're btter off not remembering.
Jodi Picoult
Forgiving isn't something you do for someone else. It's something you do for yourself. It's saying, 'You're not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.' It's saying, 'You don't get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.
Jodi Picoult
I started writing when I had three kids under the age of 4. I used to write every ten minutes I got to sit in front of a computer. Now, when I have more time, I function the same way: if it's writing time, I write.
Jodi Picoult
When you finally start to write something, do not let yourself stop...even when you are convinced it's the worst garbage ever. This is the biggest caveat for beginning writers. Instead, force yourself to finish what you began, and THEN go back and edit it.
Jodi Picoult
I think we deserve a happily-ever-after. If anyone ever did, it's us.
Jodi Picoult
Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, and started being about who had the power to keep the faith. You said that the purpose of religion was to bring people together. But does it, really? Or does it-knowingly, purposefully, and intentionally--break them apart?
Jodi Picoult
Since it had gotten so quiet in the room that you could hear the sound of your own doubts.
Jodi Picoult
When your mother is made out of your dreams, anything real is bound to disappoint you.
Jodi Picoult
Listen, I would say, this is not how I thought our lives would go and may be we cannot find our way out of this alley. But there is no one I'd rather be lost with.
Jodi Picoult
I believe in love. I think it just hits you and pulls the rug out from underneath you and, like a baby, demands your attention every minute of the day.
Jodi Picoult
I sometimes wonder if it is just me, or if there are other women who figure out where they are supposed to be by going nowhere.
Jodi Picoult
The Lord turned water into wine. All I'm suggesting is a trip to the grocery store.
Jodi Picoult
The process of growing up was nothing more than figuring out what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face.
Jodi Picoult
By definition, love made you better than good enough it redefined perfection to include your traits, instead of excluding them.
Jodi Picoult
Justification is a remarkable thing-takes all those solid lines and blurs them, so that honor becomes as supple as a willow, and ethics burst like soap bubbles.
Jodi Picoult
There was no black or white. Someone who had been good her entire life could, in fact, do something evil. People were just as capable of committing murder, under the right circumstances, as any monster.
Jodi Picoult
People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.
Jodi Picoult
I have always envied people who believe strongly in religion, people who could face a tragedy by praying and know that it would be all right. As unscientific as it seems, well, it would be nice to lay the responsibilities and pain on someone else's larger shoulders.
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
Stem cell research has become such a polarizing issue in America... and I wanted to bring it down to the personal level, instead of the political.
