They ask, how could this happen here? Well. How could it not happen here?
Jodi Picoult
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

Jodi Picoult
What she hadn't realized was that sometimes when your vision was that sharp and true, it could cut you. That only if you'd felt such fullness could you really understand the ache of being empty.

Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
I only just found you, I can't lose you now
Jodi Picoult
When you think you're right, you're most likely wrong.
Jodi Picoult
My mother walks forward. She's crying, but there's a smile on her face. For God's sake, is it any wonder I can't ever understand what you people are feeling?
Jodi Picoult
It was the first time she'd discovered something she really didn't want to find, and she didn't know what to do once she'd found it.
Jodi Picoult
And just like that, something inside shifted very subtly, so that all the empty spaces in him suddenly disappeared, so that his breath timed to hers, so that his blood sang. This is why there was music, he realized. There were some feelings that just didn’t have words big enough to describe them.
Jodi Picoult
You fell in love with someone because of the tilt of his smile, or because he could make you laugh, or in this case, because he made you believe that you were the only one who could save him.
Jodi Picoult
Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.
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
if i have gained anything over these months, it is the knowledge there is no starting over - only living with the mistakes you've made. but then, caleb taught me long ago you can't build anything without some sort of foundation. maybe we learn to live our lives by understanding, firsthand, how not to live them.
