More quotes by Jodi Picoult
A man should live his life a certain way not because of some divine authority, but because of a personal moral obligation to himself and others.
Jodi Picoult
People changed. Even the people you thought you knew as well as you knew yourself.
Jodi Picoult
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
Gay rights is not something most of us think about - because most of us happen to have been born straight.
Jodi Picoult
You can touch everything and be connected to nothing.
Jodi Picoult
Memory is like plaster: peel it back and you just might find a completely different picture.
Jodi Picoult
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
Jodi Picoult
I love getting fan mail. Often, as a writer, you never know what your readers think of a book... you get critical reviews and sales figures, but none of that is the same as knowing you've made a person stay up all night reading, or helped them have a good cry, or really touched their life.
Jodi Picoult
Since I was five, I've known that I was adopted, which is a politically correct term for being clueless about one's own origins.
Jodi Picoult
Once you call something a story, it's set in stone. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end that can't be transformed, because by definition, if you do that, it's not the same story anymore
Jodi Picoult
I know what it's like when the things you believe make you feel like you're on the outside looking in.
Jodi Picoult
Logical thinking keeps you from wasting time worrying, or hoping. It prevents disappointment. Imagination, on the other hand, only gets you hyped up over things that will never realistically happen.
Jodi Picoult
Objection! Metz shouts. Grounds? the judge asks. Well...he's my witness!
Jodi Picoult
If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?
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
The joke's on them. One little hypodermic wont' be enough. Split a piece of wood, and they'll find me. Lift up a stone, and they'll find me. Look in the mirror, and they'll find me...If you really want to know what makes someone a killer, ask yourself what would make you do it.
Jodi Picoult
You okay in there? No, I'm hanging from a closet rod.
Jodi Picoult
What we all want, really, is to be loved. That craving drives our worst behavior.
Jodi Picoult
I had absolutely no trauma in my childhood. If anyone ever assumed that my books were autobiographical, they'd be sorely disappointed, because none of these things happened to me.
Jodi Picoult
Some women are meant to change the world while others are meant to hold it together.
