More quotes by Jodi Picoult
If you live in each other's pockets long enough, you're related.
Jodi Picoult
Remember when you were a little kid and you'd fall asleep in the car? And someone would carry you out and put you into bed, so that when you woke up in the morning, you knew automatically you were home again? That's what I think it's like to die.
Jodi Picoult
My mother used to tell me that when push comes to shove, you always know who to turn to. That being a family isn't a social construct but an instinct.
Jodi Picoult
On a really dark night, you can see between 1,000 and 1,500 stars, and there are millions more that haven't been discovered. It is so easy to think that the world revolves around you, but all you have to do is stare up at the sky to realize it isn't that way at all. -Brian Fitzgerald
Jodi Picoult
I grew up in a household where we didn't really talk about our feelings, and where the only reason you went to a doctor was because you'd accidentally cut off a limb with a chain saw.

Love makes life a little brighter
Jodi Picoult
A sacrament--like marriage--means living a life better than your natural instincts, so that you're modeling God. And God never gives up.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
Nobody, who looks at a shard of flint lying beneath a rock ledge, or who finds a splintered log by the side of the road would ever find magic in their solitude. But in the right circumstances, if you bring them together, you can start a fire that consumes the world.
Jodi Picoult
I shouldn't have eavesdropped, but sometimes, that's the only way to find out the truth.
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
If you loved someone, really loved them, would you let them go?
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.
Jodi Picoult
Something still exists as long as there's someone around to remember it.
Jodi Picoult
Lie to yourself until it's true.
Jodi Picoult
People ask all the time how I'm doing, but the truth is, they don't really want to know.
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
I understand better than she'd imagine that history is indelible. You can mask it you can patch it smooth and clear but you always know what's hidden underneath.
Jodi Picoult
I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.
Jodi Picoult
But once you throw a stone, there are ripples in the pond, even if you remove the rock.
