Jodi Picoult
Instead of plotting the demise of the traditional family, as some politicians and religious leaders would have you believe, gay people mow their lawns and watch 'American Idol' and video their children's concerts and have the same hopes and dreams that their straight counterparts do.
Jodi Picoult
If you live in each other's pockets long enough, you're related.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
You can blame your ugliness for keeping people at bay, when in reality you're crippled by the thought of letting another person close enough to popentially scar you even more deeply. You can tell yourself that it's safer to love someone who will never really love you back, because you can't lose someone you never had.
Jodi Picoult
Why are terms of endearment always food? Honey, cookie, sugar, pumpkin. Its not like caring about someone is enough to actually sustain you.
Jodi Picoult
The problem isn’t with rock lyrics, it’s with the fabric of this society itself.
Jodi Picoult
If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?
Jodi Picoult
I don’t think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You’re just pulled to that person like true north, whether it’s good for you or bound to break your heart.
Jodi Picoult
I think there are crossroads in our lives when we make grand, sweeping decisions without even realizing it.
Jodi Picoult
Like a missing tooth, sometimes an absence is more noticeable than a presence.
Jodi Picoult

A place where, no matter how bad things looked at that moment, there would always be a happy ending.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
And just like that, something inside shifted very subtly, so that all the empty spaces in him suddenly disappeared, so that his breath timed to hers, so that his blood sang. This is why there was music, he realized. There were some feelings that just didn’t have words big enough to describe them.
