Jodi Picoult
What makes a treasure a treasure. Marine replied, is how rare a find it is, when you need it the most.
Jodi Picoult
I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf. There is only so much you can pile onto it before something falls off an edge and you are left to pick up the pieces.
Jodi Picoult
When you're a parent you find yourself looking at the unknown that is your child, trying to find a piece of yourself inside her, because sometimes that is what it takes to claim.
Jodi Picoult
Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, and started being about who had the power to keep the faith. You said that the purpose of religion was to bring people together. But does it, really? Or does it-knowingly, purposefully, and intentionally--break them apart?

We Pisces, we're a special breed.
