More quotes by Jodi Picoult
But there's an enormous difference between an audience that's watching you because they can't wait to see what comes next and an audience that's watching you because they're waiting for you to fail.
Jodi Picoult
There are always sides. There is always a winner and a loser. For every person who gets, there's someone who must give.
Jodi Picoult
Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.
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
My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.
Jodi Picoult
Bleeding heart, he’d called her. Well. He should know. He’d been the first to rip it to pieces.
Jodi Picoult
I know what it's like when the things you believe make you feel like you're on the outside looking in.
Jodi Picoult
But then again, maybe bad things happen because it’s the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like.
Jodi Picoult
Mistakes are like the memories you hide in an attic: old love letters from relationships that tanked, photos of dead relatives, toys from a childhood you miss. Out of sight is out of mind, but somewhere deep inside you know they still exist. And you also know that you're avoiding them.
Jodi Picoult
I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet.
Jodi Picoult
She suddenly remembered studying the brain in science class- how a steel rod pierced a man's skull, and he opened his mouth to speak Portuguese, a language he'd never studied. Maybe it would be like this, now, for Josie. Maybe her native tongue, from here on in, would be a string of lies.
Jodi Picoult
I will say overwhelmingly what means so much more to me than the opinion of one reviewer are the letters I get from fans who tell me how a particular book has changed their life.
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
You don't love someone because they're perfect, she says. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not. I don't know how to respond to that it's like being told after thirty-five years that the sky, which I've seen as a brilliant blue, is in fact rather green.
Jodi Picoult
and yet, you never knew wwhat you were capable of until you arrived at that given moment. Life was just a whole string of spots where you continued to surprise yourself.
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
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
You keep distracting me,” I tell her. “All I’m doing is sitting here talking to you!” “Exactly,” I say, and I smile at her.j
Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why it's a sin if you love something and want to keep it from having to suffer.
Jodi Picoult
People ask all the time how I'm doing, but the truth is, they don't really want to know.
