Jodi Picoult
Justification is a remarkable thing-takes all those solid lines and blurs them, so that honor becomes as supple as a willow, and ethics burst like soap bubbles.
Jodi Picoult
I loved Alex so much that it was easier to let him hurt me than to watch him hurt himself.
Jodi Picoult
I only just found you, I can't lose you now
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

Jodi Picoult
Since it had gotten so quiet in the room that you could hear the sound of your own doubts.
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
There are always sides. There is always a winner and a loser. For every person who gets, there's someone who must give.
Jodi Picoult
Just so you know, when they say once upon a time....they're lying. It's not once upon a time. Its not even twice upon a time. It's hundreds of times, over and over, every time someone opens up the pages of this dusty old book.
Jodi Picoult
You know how hind-sight is 20/20? Love is when you look back and wouldn't change anything.
Jodi Picoult
When the door opens, I realize that the only thing worse than waiting is the moment you realize a decision has been made.
Jodi Picoult
When you finally start to write something, do not let yourself stop...even when you are convinced it's the worst garbage ever. This is the biggest caveat for beginning writers. Instead, force yourself to finish what you began, and THEN go back and edit it.
Jodi Picoult
If you've lived through it, you already know there are no words that will ever come close to describing it, and if you didn't - you will never understand.
Jodi Picoult
Forgiveness is spiritual. Punishment is legal, Leo says. They're not mutually exclusive.
Jodi Picoult
What makes you walk past thirty-thousand people without a second glance, and then you look at the thirty-thousandth-and-first person and know you'll never take your eyes off her again?
