Jodi Picoult
be a good listener, don't judge and don't put boundaries on someone else's grief.

Jodi Picoult
I think...she said finally, that all of us have got our ghosts.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
It turns out that sharing the past with someone is different from reliving it when you’re alone. It feels less like a wound, more like a poultice.
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
Hope and reality lie in inverse proportions.
Jodi Picoult
A lie, as you probably know, has a taste all its own. Blocky and bitter and never quite right.
Jodi Picoult
The answer is that there is no good answer. So as parents, as doctors, as judges, and as a society, we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night--because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than law.
Jodi Picoult
Everyone deserves a happy ending.
Jodi Picoult
Risk always looks different when you're beating the system than when you've been beaten.
Jodi Picoult
The damage was permanent there would always be scars. But even the angriest scars faded over time until it was difficult to see them written on the skin at all, and the only thing that remained was the memory of how painful it had been.
