More quotes by Jodi Picoult
Life was what happened when all the what-if’s didn’t, when what you dreamed or hoped or – in this case – feared might come to pass passed by instead.
Jodi Picoult
Motherhood is a Sisyphean task. You finish sewing one seam shut, and another rips open. I have come to believe that this life I'm wearing will never really fit.
Jodi Picoult
Families were never what you wanted them to be. We all wanted what we couldn't have: the perfect child, the doting husband, the mother who wouldn't let go. We live in our grown-up dollhouses completely unaware that, at any moment, a hand might come in and change around everything we'd become accustomed to.
Jodi Picoult
I love meeting my readers - so the more I can talk to at one event the better!
Jodi Picoult
I don't think we get a choice in who we fall for, Ian whispers. I think we just do.
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.
Jodi Picoult
[I] don't think I was trying to kill myself. I just wanted to hurt, and understand exactly whay I was hurting. This made sense: you cut, you felt pain, period.
Jodi Picoult
The wolves knew when it was time to stop looking for what they'd lost, to focus instead on what was yet to come.
Jodi Picoult
What's stronger-the need to uphold the law, or the motive to turn one's back on it?
Jodi Picoult
After all, once you know that part of something exists, it stands to reason that the rest of it is somewhere out there, too.
Jodi Picoult
What's worse ...? The devil you don't know ... or the devil you do?
Jodi Picoult
for 100,000 (dollars), you [can] flatten a house with a wrecking ball. Imagine how much less it [takes] to destroy something than it [does] to build it in the first place.
Jodi Picoult
People are always afraid of the unknown - and banding together against the Thing That Is Different From Us is a time-honoured tradition for rallying the masses.
Jodi Picoult
If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?
Jodi Picoult
I know that there will be other women, but they couldn't compare. Maybe I'll change, maybe love will change, but I think we were a once-in-a-lifetime. You could never leave me that's why I am not more upset. You can't possibly break these feelings. They stretch, and they last.
Jodi Picoult
I can see myself now, she said. And I can see what I want to be, ten years from now. But I don't understand how I'm going to get from here to there.
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
Here's what I hadn't realized: the mother you haven't seen for almost thirty-six years isn't your mother, she's a stranger. Sharing DNA doesn't make you fast friends. This wasn't a joyous reunion. It was just awkward.
Jodi Picoult
Love is not an equation, it is not a contract, and it is not a happy ending. Love is the slate under the chalk, the ground that buildings rise, and the oxygen in the air. It is the place you come back to, no matter where your headed
Jodi Picoult
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.
