Jodi Picoult
I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same.
Jodi Picoult
think about it: Romeo and Juliet bucked the system, and look where it got them. Superman has the hots for Lois Lane, when the better match, of course, would be with Wonder Woman.
Jodi Picoult
He rises over me, a second sun, and fills me with light and heat.
Jodi Picoult
After a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures can never be anything but broken.
Jodi Picoult
If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?
Jodi Picoult
Identification is not the same as knowing someone through and through.
Jodi Picoult
Here's what I hadn't realized: the mother you haven't seen for almost thirty-six years isn't your mother, she's a stranger. Sharing DNA doesn't make you fast friends. This wasn't a joyous reunion. It was just awkward.
Jodi Picoult
She understood how a world jammed with phones, email, and faxes could still leave you feeling utterly alone.
