More quotes by 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
People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.
Jodi Picoult
You can tell yourself that you would be willing to lose everything you have in order to get something you want. But it's a catch-22: all of those things you're willing to lose are what make you recognizable. Lose them, and you've lost yourself.
Jodi Picoult
The ability to find sparks may be buried so deep in you that you stop believing there's a God. Until someone comes along, with so much light in her that you can't help but see your own, and when you're together,that light grows even brighter.
Jodi Picoult
Just because you didn't put a name to something did not mean it wasn't there.
Jodi Picoult
The thinnest slice would be teeming with memories of a love so strong it turned you inside out and left you gasping, and would be an identical match to a slice stored in the heart of a soul mate.
Jodi Picoult
For me, every book is a journey - questioning a really difficult topic that most people don't want to talk about, much less write about. And that's what I need that works for me as a writer.
Jodi Picoult
I could think whatever I wanted to, but realized that any promises I made myself were destined to be broken.
Jodi Picoult
I know what it's like when the things you believe make you feel like you're on the outside looking in.
Jodi Picoult
[I] don't think I was trying to kill myself. I just wanted to hurt, and understand exactly whay I was hurting. This made sense: you cut, you felt pain, period.
Jodi Picoult
If it's us, she whispered, how come you get to decide? When he didn't answer - couldn't answer - she turned and stared out the front window. As it turned out, they were still in the parking lot. They hadn't gotten anywhere at all.
Jodi Picoult
She suddenly remembered studying the brain in science class- how a steel rod pierced a man's skull, and he opened his mouth to speak Portuguese, a language he'd never studied. Maybe it would be like this, now, for Josie. Maybe her native tongue, from here on in, would be a string of lies.
Jodi Picoult
Loneliness is a mirror, and recognizes itself.
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
I know what love is. When you find the person you are supposed to love, bells ring and fireworks go off in your head and you can't find the words to speak and you think about him all the time. When you find the person you are supposed to love, you will know by staring deeply into their eyes.
Jodi Picoult
I wonder if what makes a family a family isn't doing everything right all the time but, instead, giving a second chance to the people you love who do things wrong.
Jodi Picoult
I don’t think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You’re just pulled to that person like true north, whether it’s good for you or bound to break your heart.
Jodi Picoult
You're unwilling to go out on a limb because it just might break underneath you.
Jodi Picoult
You can't pay a landlord in dogma.
Jodi Picoult
The best thing about endings is knowing that just ahead is the daunting task to start over.
