More quotes by Jodi Picoult
Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.
Jodi Picoult
Because hate's just the flip side of love. Like heads and tails on a dime. If you don't know what it feels like to love someone, how would you know what hate is? One can't exist without the other.
Jodi Picoult
Just 'cause you can't see me don't mean I gone away.
Jodi Picoult
I'm always writing, even when I'm not at my desk. I write on my hands. I used to write on my kids' hands, too, but they don't let me any more. When I'm driving I sometimes write all the way up my arms.
Jodi Picoult
I wonder if you've got a minute. I have many minutes, all of them used toward a common purpose.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
Being a teenager isn't all that different from being part of someone else's story. There's always someone who thinks they know better than you do
Jodi Picoult
But mostly I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet. I still loved him. It felt like anything else permanent that has gone missing a lost tooth, a severed leg. You might know better, but that doesn’t keep your tongue from poling at the hole in your gum, or your phantom limb from aching.
Jodi Picoult
There was no black or white. Someone who had been good her entire life could, in fact, do something evil. People were just as capable of committing murder, under the right circumstances, as any monster.
Jodi Picoult
How do you tell someone that you weren't the person he thought you were? And more importantly, how did you tell him that you'd meant the things you'd said, when everything else about you turned out to be a lie.
Jodi Picoult
You might have to lose control before you could find out what you'd been missing.
Jodi Picoult
Time is an optical illusion- never quite as soild or strong as we think it is
Jodi Picoult
In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn color your hair watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist you can fold laundry for a family of five. In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world or you can just jump off it.
Jodi Picoult
Just because fate had thrown another obstacle in my way didn't mean I had to give up my dreams.
Jodi Picoult
We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that's exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which.
Jodi Picoult
You don't make peace only with G-d. You make it with people. Sin isn't global. It's personal. If you do wrong to someone, the only way to fix that is to go to that same person and do right by him.
Jodi Picoult
A man should live his life a certain way not because of some divine authority, but because of a personal moral obligation to himself and others.
Jodi Picoult
When I think about writers who use fiction as social commentary and to raise social awareness but who are also very popular, I think of Dickens.
