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
It was a catch-22: If you didn’t put the trauma behind you, you couldn’t move on. But if you did put the trauma behind you, you willingly gave up your claim to the person you were before it happened.
Jodi Picoult
I'd like to say that this time I'd kill myself too..but I've never had that kind of courage.
Jodi Picoult
If his voice hasn't been the melody of my life, it's been the bass line, so subtle you don't notice it until it's missing.
