I don't understand why people never say what they mean. It's like the immigrants who come to a country and learn the language but are completely baffled by idioms. (Seriously, how could anyone who isn't a native English speaker 'get the picture,' so to speak, and not assume it has something to do with a photo or a painting?)

She had never been a pretty crier. She sobbed the way she did everything else - with passion and excess.

You don't have to say I love you to say I love you, you said with a shrug. All you have to do is say my name and I know. ...Can't you hear it? you said. When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.

A fire can't burn forever. Eventually, it consumes itself.

love doesn't follow the rules... nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable.
Jodi Picoult
Image
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?

Polar north can't get away from a magnet the magnet finds it, no matter what.

Life can change in an instant don't be so worried about the future that you forget to celebrate what you have right now.

If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?
Jodi Picoult
Image
And just like that, something inside shifted very subtly, so that all the empty spaces in him suddenly disappeared, so that his breath timed to hers, so that his blood sang. This is why there was music, he realized. There were some feelings that just didn’t have words big enough to describe them.

You signed no contract to become a parent, but the responsibilities were written in invisible ink. There was a point when you had to support your child, even if no one else would. It was your job to rebuild the bridge, even if your child was the one who burned it in the first place.
