In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn color your hair watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist you can fold laundry for a family of five. In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world or you can just jump off it.

I have loved before, but it didn’t feel like this. I have kissed before, but it didn’t burn me alive. Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it’s an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that, even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.

Jodi Picoult
I have never understood why it is called losing a child. No parent is that careless. We all know exactly where our sons and daughters are we just don't necessarily want them to be there
Jodi Picoult
You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.
Jodi Picoult
I have always written about subjects that engage me - questions I can't answer myself. They apparently tend to be big moral and ethical issues!
Jodi Picoult
Memories are like a still life painted by ten different student artists: some will be blue-based others red some will be as stark as Picasso and others as rich as Rembrandt some will be foreshortened and others distant. Recollections are in the eye of the beholder no two held up side by side will ever quite match.
Jodi Picoult
Whether it was power they sought, or revenge, or love-well, those were all just different forms of hunger. The bigger the hole inside you, the more desperate you became to fill it.
Jodi Picoult
The desperate usually succeed because they have nothing to lose.
Jodi Picoult
As anyone who's ever contracted it knows, lies are an infectious disease. They slip under the almond slivers of your fingernails and into your bloodstream.
Jodi Picoult
Doctors put a wall up between themselves and their patients nurses broke it down.
Jodi Picoult
Every life has a soundtrack.
Jodi Picoult
Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.
