More quotes by 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
Memories are like a still life painted by ten different student artists: some will be blue-based others red some will be as stark as Picasso and others as rich as Rembrandt some will be foreshortened and others distant. Recollections are in the eye of the beholder no two held up side by side will ever quite match.
Jodi Picoult
When I'm with you, bells go off in my head like a moving truck that's backing up.
Jodi Picoult
I imagine how cool it would be if all small talk wasn't lies.
Jodi Picoult
I can get 400 pages down the road and still not know the answer. What I do know is that I have really examined every facet of the situation, and I may not have changed my opinion but I have definitely forced myself to explore why it's my opinion.
Jodi Picoult
So much of the language of love was like that: you devoured someone with your eyes, you drank in the sight of him, you swallowed him whole. Love was substance, broken down and beating through your bloodstream.
Jodi Picoult
I know what love is. When you find the person you are supposed to love, bells ring and fireworks go off in your head and you can't find the words to speak and you think about him all the time. When you find the person you are supposed to love, you will know by staring deeply into their eyes.
Jodi Picoult
Does fate ever play by the rules?
Jodi Picoult
You can't win. Either you have the baby and wear your pain on the outside, or you don't have the baby, and you keep that ache in you forever
Jodi Picoult
Parenting is really just a matter of tracking, of hoping your kids do not get so far ahead you can no longer see their next moves.
Jodi Picoult
The right idea is the one you can't stop thinking about the one that's in your head first thing in the morning.
Jodi Picoult
I started writing when I had three kids under the age of 4. I used to write every ten minutes I got to sit in front of a computer. Now, when I have more time, I function the same way: if it's writing time, I write.
Jodi Picoult
Loneliness is a mirror, and recognizes itself.
Jodi Picoult
As anyone who's ever contracted it knows, lies are an infectious disease. They slip under the almond slivers of your fingernails and into your bloodstream.
Jodi Picoult
People don’t just disappear. There’s always a reason, or an enemy with a grudge. There’s always a loose thread that starts to unravel.
Jodi Picoult
Even the most beautiful things can be toxic.
Jodi Picoult
We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just see them more clearly than others.
Jodi Picoult
You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
Jodi Picoult
Just when you think you've got your life by the reins, that's when it's most likely to run away with you.
Jodi Picoult
As a child, what I was missing was so much bigger to me than what I had. My mother-mythic, imaginary-was a deity and a superhero and a comfort all at once. If only I'd had her, surely, she would have been the answer to every problem if only I'd had her , she would have been the cure for everything that ever had gone wrong in my life.
