More quotes by Jodi Picoult
How can you be a survivor, when you can't even remember the war?
Jodi Picoult
The joke's on them. One little hypodermic wont' be enough. Split a piece of wood, and they'll find me. Lift up a stone, and they'll find me. Look in the mirror, and they'll find me...If you really want to know what makes someone a killer, ask yourself what would make you do it.
Jodi Picoult
The answer is that there is no good answer. So as parents, as doctors, as judges, and as a society, we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night--because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than law.
Jodi Picoult
I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.
Jodi Picoult
There's no way to explain to a child that the line between good and evil isn't nearly as black and white as a fairy tale would lead you to believe. That an ordinary person can turn into a villain, under the right circumstances. That sometimes we dragon slayers do things we aren't proud of.
Jodi Picoult
Identification is not the same as knowing someone through and through.
Jodi Picoult
Crazy girls did this, girls who walked like zombies through YA novels. But. Trixie felt the sting of the skin as it split, the sweet welling rise of blood. It hurt, though not as much as everything else idd.
Jodi Picoult
He smiles at me, and I am suddenly seventeen again - the year I realize that love doesn't follow the rules, the year I understood that nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable
Jodi Picoult
I have always envied people who believe strongly in religion, people who could face a tragedy by praying and know that it would be all right. As unscientific as it seems, well, it would be nice to lay the responsibilities and pain on someone else's larger shoulders.
Jodi Picoult
words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.
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
It's never the differences between people that suprise us. It's the things that, against all odds, we have in common.
Jodi Picoult
I tell you this as a cautionary tale: beware of getting what you want. It's bound to disappoint you.
Jodi Picoult
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?
Jodi Picoult
Did you ever walk through a room that's packed with people, and feel so lonely you can hardly take the next step?
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
In the end, though, I did not kill my sister. She did it all on her own. Or at least this is what I tell myself.
Jodi Picoult
It was the first time she'd discovered something she really didn't want to find, and she didn't know what to do once she'd found it.
Jodi Picoult
And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade.
Jodi Picoult
Was there a language of loss? Did everyone who suffered speak a different dialect?
Jodi Picoult
