More quotes by 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
Well I talk a little about that, but I don't admit that from the beginning I knew we were not meant to be together.
Jodi Picoult
True love can break the most powerful curse
Jodi Picoult
Maybe if God gives you a handicap, he makes sure you've got a few extra doses of humor to take the edge off.
Jodi Picoult
Hope and reality lie in inverse proportions.
Jodi Picoult
Eventually, I told myself not to expect anything from him, and as a result it has gotten easier for me to take what comes.
Jodi Picoult
Some people don't know what to do with an act of kindness.
Jodi Picoult
The nurses, I have already learned, are the ones who give us the answers we’re desperate for. Unlike the doctors, who fidget like they need to be somewhere else, the nurses patiently answer us as if we are the first set of parents to ever have this kind of meeting with them, instead of the thousandth.
Jodi Picoult
It's a fallacy that writers have to shut themselves up in their ivory towers to write. I have all these interruptions, three of which I gave birth to. If I was thrown for a loop every time I was distracted I could never get anything done.
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
Maybe I was naïve to think that silence was implicit complacence, instead of a festering question. Maybe I was silly to believe that friends owed each other anything.
Jodi Picoult
When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.
Jodi Picoult
If you want something to be true badly enough, you can rewrite it that way, in your head. You can even start to believe it.
Jodi Picoult
Life was what happened when all the what-ifs didn't.
Jodi Picoult
No matter who you are, there is always some part of you that wishes you were someone else, and when, for a millisecond, you get that wish, it's a miracle.
Jodi Picoult
It turns out that sharing the past with someone is different from reliving it when you’re alone. It feels less like a wound, more like a poultice.
Jodi Picoult
Maybe honesty is overvalued. What's truly priceless is picking out from a stream of falsehoods the ones you most need to hear.
Jodi Picoult
Tutoring a four year old to get into an exclusive preschool made as much sense as hiring a swim coach for a guppy.
Jodi Picoult
The desperate usually succeed because they have nothing to lose.
Jodi Picoult
Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole.
