More quotes by Jodi Picoult
When someone loves you up one side and down the other like that, you make every effort to stick around.
Jodi Picoult
I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.
Jodi Picoult
Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.
Jodi Picoult
The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.
Jodi Picoult
I am an activist. I have a really big pulpit with my fiction and I love knowing that I can make people think.
Jodi Picoult
I felt a splinter of guilt wedge into my heart. Charlotte had hurt me in return, I'd hurt Rob. Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late we've wounded the people we're trying to protect.
Jodi Picoult
When you care more if someone else lives than you do about yourself- is that what [love is]?
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes we find ourselves walking through life blindfolded, and we try to deny that we're the ones who securely tied the knot.
Jodi Picoult
Did you ever think that maybe what you see isn't really what's true?
Jodi Picoult
Men. You can't live with them...and you can't legally shoot them. I tossed out my husband eight years ago and got a llama instead. Best decision I ever made.
Jodi Picoult
she told me she'd be a phoenix. The image of the mythical creature rising from the ashes glitters in my mind. They don't really exist. She said that depends on whether or not there's someone who can see them.
Jodi Picoult
I'm always writing, even when I'm not at my desk. I write on my hands. I used to write on my kids' hands, too, but they don't let me any more. When I'm driving I sometimes write all the way up my arms.
Jodi Picoult
Religion isn't in your DNA. you don't believe just because your parents believe.
Jodi Picoult
Remember when you were a little kid and you'd fall asleep in the car? And someone would carry you out and put you into bed, so that when you woke up in the morning, you knew automatically you were home again? That's what I think it's like to die.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes it made her want to put her fist through glass other times, it made her cry a river.
Jodi Picoult
people think they know what they're getting, and they're always wrong.
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
Don't pay back in kind, pay back in kindness. If someone does wrong by you, do right by them.
Jodi Picoult
She had loved him. He knew this he had never doubted it. But she had also asked him to kill her. If you love someone that much, you did not lay that sort of burden on him for the rest of his life.
Jodi Picoult
Parents aren’t the people you come from. They’re the people you want to be, when you grow up.
