More quotes by Jodi Picoult
I will say overwhelmingly what means so much more to me than the opinion of one reviewer are the letters I get from fans who tell me how a particular book has changed their life.
Jodi Picoult
From that point of view, I realized that my hole was not miles deep after all. My father, in fact, could stand on the bottom and it only reached up to his chest. Darkness, you know, is relative.
Jodi Picoult
If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?
Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why people never say what they mean. It's like the immigrants who come to a country and learn the language but are completely baffled by idioms. (Seriously, how could anyone who isn't a native English speaker 'get the picture,' so to speak, and not assume it has something to do with a photo or a painting?)
Jodi Picoult
I imagine how cool it would be if all small talk wasn't lies.
Jodi Picoult
Torn between fear and something that resembled love, she wrestled with questions she never dreamed she would face: How could she leave? Then again, how could she stay?
Jodi Picoult
You can touch everything and be connected to nothing.
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
I wish I could tell him I understand: the higher you raise your hopes, the farther you have to fall.
Jodi Picoult
As it turns out, you can function while your heart is being torn to shreds.
Jodi Picoult
Raw love, like raw heartache, could blindside you.
Jodi Picoult
I think we deserve a happily-ever-after. If anyone ever did, it's us.
Jodi Picoult
Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, and started being about who had the power to keep the faith. You said that the purpose of religion was to bring people together. But does it, really? Or does it-knowingly, purposefully, and intentionally--break them apart?
Jodi Picoult
Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole.
Jodi Picoult
He smiles at me, and I am suddenly seventeen again - the year I realize that love doesn't follow the rules, the year I understood that nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable
Jodi Picoult
Dylan Jerome, the lawyer admits, wanted to sue God for not caring enough about him.
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
How do you know that you are not part of a book? That someone's not reading your story right now?
Jodi Picoult
I love meeting my readers - so the more I can talk to at one event the better!
Jodi Picoult
There's no way to explain to a child that the line between good and evil isn't nearly as black and white as a fairy tale would lead you to believe. That an ordinary person can turn into a villain, under the right circumstances. That sometimes we dragon slayers do things we aren't proud of.
