I learned a long time ago with you that folks who were trying to be kind would rather do it with a macaroni-and-cheese bake than any personal involvement.

Jodi Picoult
in nineteen minutes you can norder a pizza and have it delivered. You can read a story to a child or have your oil changed. You can walk a mile. You can sew a hem. In nineteen minutes you can get revenge.
Jodi Picoult

You get through it, you just never get over it
Jodi Picoult
You don't make peace only with G-d. You make it with people. Sin isn't global. It's personal. If you do wrong to someone, the only way to fix that is to go to that same person and do right by him.
Jodi Picoult
Life was what happened when all the what-ifs didn't.
Jodi Picoult
What makes a treasure a treasure. Marine replied, is how rare a find it is, when you need it the most.
