More quotes by Jodi Picoult

I love getting fan mail. Often, as a writer, you never know what your readers think of a book... you get critical reviews and sales figures, but none of that is the same as knowing you've made a person stay up all night reading, or helped them have a good cry, or really touched their life.
Jodi Picoult
When you’re hurting deeply, you go inward.
Jodi Picoult
You don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?
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
Kids think with their brains cracked wide open becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut.
Jodi Picoult
You don't have to say I love you to say I love you, you said with a shrug. All you have to do is say my name and I know. ...Can't you hear it? you said. When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.
Jodi Picoult
Three months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved someone, you’d let them go. But now I look at you, and I dreamed about Maggie, and I see that I’ve been wrong. If you really love someone, Allie, I think you have to take them back.
Jodi Picoult
Doing the right thing for someone else occasionally means doing something that feels wrong to you.
Jodi Picoult
anyone can understand anything. You just have to know how to present your information.
Jodi Picoult
I wonder if, as you get older, you stop missing people so fiercely. Maybe growing up is just focusing on what you've got, instead of what you don't.
Jodi Picoult
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
Jodi Picoult
People have to experience things that terrify them. If they don't, how will they ever come to appreciate safety?
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes, mothers say and do things that seem like they don't want their kids... but when you look more closely, you realize that they're doing those kids a favor. They're just trying to give them a better life.
