Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
Image
It's never the differences between people that suprise us. It's the things that, against all odds, we have in common.
Jodi Picoult
Image
I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet.
Jodi Picoult
Image
I imagine having that sixth sense, the certainty that what I'm looking for is within reach, even if it's still hidden.
Jodi Picoult
Image
Men. You can't live with them...and you can't legally shoot them. I tossed out my husband eight years ago and got a llama instead. Best decision I ever made.
