We Pisces, we're a special breed.

Jodi Picoult
Motherhood is a Sisyphean task. You finish sewing one seam shut, and another rips open. I have come to believe that this life I'm wearing will never really fit.
Jodi Picoult
The answer is that there is no good answer. So as parents, as doctors, as judges, and as a society, we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night--because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than law.
Jodi Picoult
I don't write the same book over and over - I think if I did that, I would stop writing. I couldn't write a series with the same character, and I couldn't write a romance novel over and over again that takes place at a different beach every year. That's not who I am.
Jodi Picoult
I think people do things all the time in the name of love that they shouldn't be doing - such is the nature of us.
Jodi Picoult
Being a teenager isn't all that different from being part of someone else's story. There's always someone who thinks they know better than you do
Jodi Picoult
