Jodi Picoult
Hope and reality lie in inverse proportions.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
Every life has a soundtrack.
Jodi Picoult
I imagine how cool it would be if all small talk wasn't lies.
Jodi Picoult
I think we deserve a happily-ever-after. If anyone ever did, it's us.
Jodi Picoult
There are millions of people in the world, and the spirits will see that most of them you never have to meet. But there are one or two you are tied to, and the spirits will cross you back and forth, threading so many knots until they catch and you finally get it right.
Jodi Picoult
We're [parents]) always bluffing, pretending we know best, when most of the time we're just praying we won't screw up too badly.
Jodi Picoult
Your hand fits mine like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
