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

I wondered about the explorers who'd sailed their ships to the end of the world. How terrified they must have been when they risked falling over the edge how amazed to discover, instead, places they had seen only in their dreams.
Jodi Picoult
Every life has a soundtrack.
Jodi Picoult
Pick ten strangers and stick them in a room, and ask them which of us they feel sorrier for - you or me - and we all know who they'll choose.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
The book that made me want to be a writer in the first place was Gone with the Wind - I read it and wanted to create a whole world out of words, too.
Jodi Picoult
Unlike Elise, who could discover parts of a person they didn't even know were absent, you specialized in tangible, but that, I feared, was only a matter of time.
Jodi Picoult
The truth doesn't always set you free people prefer to believe prettier, neatley wrapped lies
Jodi Picoult
See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it
Jodi Picoult
You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.
Jodi Picoult
After a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures can never be anything but broken.
Jodi Picoult
But still, it looked completely natural, as if we had been kissing at the ends of sentences for ages, while the rest of the world was still hung up on punctuation.
Jodi Picoult
Home is not a place, but rather, the people you love
Jodi Picoult
There are so many things I can't believe. That people deserve what they get, both bad and good. That one day I'll live in a world where people are judged by what they do instead of who they are. That happy endings don't have contingencies and conditions.
Jodi Picoult
The desperate usually succeed because they have nothing to lose.
Jodi Picoult
Clearly God was in some kind of mood on my birthday.
Jodi Picoult
I close my eyes, thinking that there is nothing like an embrace after an absence, nothing like fitting my face into the curve of his shoulder and filling my lungs with the scent of him.
Jodi Picoult
People had figured out all sorts of ways to make things seem different than they truly were.
Jodi Picoult
Everyone deserves a happy ending.
