More quotes by Jodi Picoult
I think my writing has become cleaner.
Jodi Picoult
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?)
Jodi Picoult
In books, you always know what's coming next. There are no surprises.
Jodi Picoult
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. This planet is only one-eighth of the solar system, whose sun is one of two billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Put it that way, the comment loses it's importance.
Jodi Picoult
I keep quite busy, walk 5 miles a day, and have an excellent hairdresser who keeps the gray out of my red hair.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes all you need to live one more day is a good reason to stick around.
Jodi Picoult
You don't make a friend, Jacob said with a scowl. It's not like they come with directions like you'd find on a box of macaroni and cheese.
Jodi Picoult
We all want to know what went wrong, even when there isn't really an answer to that question.
Jodi Picoult
Memory is like plaster: peel it back and you just might find a completely different picture.
Jodi Picoult
the letters are mixed up. U and I should be together.
Jodi Picoult
I think there are readers out there and I don't think the book is dead. And more importantly I don't think readers have to choose between literary and commercial fiction.
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
Tradionally, parents made decisions for a child, because presumably they are looking out for his or her best interests. But if they are blinded, instead, by the best interests of another one of their children, the system breaks down.
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
I have never fit into this town, this marriage, this skin. I am the child who was picked last to play tag I am the girl who laughed although she did not get the joke I am the piecemeal part of you that you pretend doesn't exist, except it is all I am, all the time.
Jodi Picoult
Scars are just a treasure map for pain you've buried too deep to remember.
Jodi Picoult
I wonder if you've got a minute. I have many minutes, all of them used toward a common purpose.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.
Jodi Picoult
i know what it's like to wake up thinking you will be able to cast the people who play the starring roles in your life, only to realize that you have to watch it from the audience.
Jodi Picoult
I know you love me. The question is, how much?
Jodi Picoult
