I don't understand why it's a sin if you love something and want to keep it from having to suffer.
Jodi Picoult
Maybe honesty is overvalued. What's truly priceless is picking out from a stream of falsehoods the ones you most need to hear.
Jodi Picoult
I don’t think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You’re just pulled to that person like true north, whether it’s good for you or bound to break your heart.

Just because you didn't put a name to something did not mean it wasn't there.
Jodi Picoult
The scariest thing in the world is thinking someone you love is going to die.
Jodi Picoult
A photo says, you were happy, and I wanted to catch that. A photo says, you were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch.

Kid says to me, You play baseball? What position? Left out? and gets a big laugh from the rest of the class. Kid is only one person out of 6.792 billion humans on this planet.

Jodi Picoult
Is it a crime when you love someone so much that you can't stand the thought of them changing? Is it a crime when you love someone so much that you can't see clearly?
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
Superheroes were born in the minds of people desperate to be rescued.
Jodi Picoult
and another claimed it was inherited through a parent who was a carrier of the defective gene. I had always assumed the latter was the case with Claire. After all, surely a child who grew out of grief would be born with a heavy heart.
Jodi Picoult
Whether or not you believe in Fate comes down to one thing: who do you blame when something goes wrong.
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
It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.
Jodi Picoult
The bottom line in both cases is that people don't change that no matter how charming you are and how fiercely you love, you cannot turn a person into something she's not.
Jodi Picoult
Accidents did not just happen. From time to time they were carefully plotted, calculated, and arranged to one’s advantage-all, of course, under the cloak of happenstance.
Jodi Picoult
I am Alice in Wonderland', Josie thought. 'Watch me fall.
