Jodi Picoult
Don't pay back in kind, pay back in kindness. If someone does wrong by you, do right by them.
Jodi Picoult
Forgiving isn't something you do for someone else. It's something you do for yourself. It's saying, 'You're not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.' It's saying, 'You don't get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.

Jodi Picoult
Pick ten strangers and stick them in a room, and ask them which of us they feel sorrier for - you or me - and we all know who they'll choose.
Jodi Picoult
Dylan Jerome, the lawyer admits, wanted to sue God for not caring enough about him.
Jodi Picoult
Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.
Jodi Picoult
Jacob's room is the place entropy goes to die.
Jodi Picoult
If he says jump, she doesn't even ask How high? She goes out and buys a pogo stick.
Jodi Picoult
When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't.
Jodi Picoult
What he did was wrong. He doesn't deserve your love. But he does deserve your forgiveness, because otherwise he will grow like a weed in your heart until it's choked and overrun. The only person who suffers, when you squirrel away all that hate, is you.
Jodi Picoult
Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's any less true.
Jodi Picoult
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
