More quotes by Jodi Picoult
When I think about writers who use fiction as social commentary and to raise social awareness but who are also very popular, I think of Dickens.
Jodi Picoult
and another claimed it was inherited through a parent who was a carrier of the defective gene. I had always assumed the latter was the case with Claire. After all, surely a child who grew out of grief would be born with a heavy heart.
Jodi Picoult
People work too hard to figure out the meaning of their lives. Why me, why now. The truth is, sometimes things don't happen to you for a reason. Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time for someone else.
Jodi Picoult
I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own?
Jodi Picoult
But you could only remake your own future, not anyone else's, and for some people that just wasn't good enough.
Jodi Picoult
It's the child who's supposed to cry, and the mom who makes it all better, not the other way around, which is why mothers will move heaven and earth to hold it together in front of their own kids.
Jodi Picoult
the relationship between people knot so easily, there needs to be a person skilled at working free the threads. Sometimes, though, the only way to extricate a tangle is to cut it out and start fresh.
Jodi Picoult
Families were never what you wanted them to be. We all wanted what we couldn't have: the perfect child, the doting husband, the mother who wouldn't let go. We live in our grown-up dollhouses completely unaware that, at any moment, a hand might come in and change around everything we'd become accustomed to.
Jodi Picoult
Maybe Fate isn't the pond you swim in but the fisherman floating on top of it, letting you run the line wild until you are weary enough to be reeled back in.
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
Be kind to others before you take care of yourself make whoever you're with feel like they matter.
Jodi Picoult
The nurses, I have already learned, are the ones who give us the answers we’re desperate for. Unlike the doctors, who fidget like they need to be somewhere else, the nurses patiently answer us as if we are the first set of parents to ever have this kind of meeting with them, instead of the thousandth.
Jodi Picoult
I imagine having that sixth sense, the certainty that what I'm looking for is within reach, even if it's still hidden.
Jodi Picoult
the letters are mixed up. U and I should be together.
Jodi Picoult
I could think whatever I wanted to, but realized that any promises I made myself were destined to be broken.
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
Jacob's room is the place entropy goes to die.
Jodi Picoult
My mother walks forward. She's crying, but there's a smile on her face. For God's sake, is it any wonder I can't ever understand what you people are feeling?
Jodi Picoult
She wanted him to tell her that when you love someone so hard and so fierce, it was all right to do things that you knew were wrong.
Jodi Picoult
Just 'cause you can't see me don't mean I gone away.
Jodi Picoult
