I think you're the only person who gets me. When I'm with you, the world doesn't feel like a problem I can't figure out. Please come to the dance, because you're my music.

Eric understands that the world is rarelythe way it is supposed to be. And he knows that, given the chance, we don't have to wait for someone to make messes of our lives. We do a good enough job, ourselves.

In fairytales, when the mask came off, the handsome prince still loved the girl, no matter what -and that alone would turn her into a princess.
Jodi Picoult
Image
She understood how a world jammed with phones, email, and faxes could still leave you feeling utterly alone.
Jodi Picoult
Image
I wanted him to feel what I felt when I was with him: that incredible combination of comfort, decadence, and wonder the knowledge that, with just a single taste of him, I was addicted.
Jodi Picoult
Image
If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?
Jodi Picoult
Image
To me gay rights is the last civil right that we have not granted in America and I think it's an enormous embarrassment.

be a good listener, don't judge and don't put boundaries on someone else's grief.

You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control.
