More quotes by Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
The right idea is the one you can't stop thinking about the one that's in your head first thing in the morning.
Jodi Picoult
I think that ordinary people who are placed in extraordinary circumstances find themselves pushed beyond their limits, and learn new truths about themselves.
Jodi Picoult
How could you go about choosing something that would hold the half of your heart you had to bury?
Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why people never say what they mean. It's like the immigrants who come to a country and learn the language but are completely baffled by idioms.

Jodi Picoult
To me gay rights is the last civil right that we have not granted in America and I think it's an enormous embarrassment.
Jodi Picoult
Parenting is really just a matter of tracking, of hoping your kids do not get so far ahead you can no longer see their next moves.
Jodi Picoult
Often, when the last page is turned, it will haunt you.
Jodi Picoult
See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it
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
The Lord turned water into wine. All I'm suggesting is a trip to the grocery store.
Jodi Picoult
He smiles at me, and I am suddenly seventeen again - the year I realize that love doesn't follow the rules, the year I understood that nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable
Jodi Picoult
It was the first time she'd discovered something she really didn't want to find, and she didn't know what to do once she'd found it.
Jodi Picoult
love doesn't follow the rules... nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable.
Jodi Picoult
I loved Alex so much that it was easier to let him hurt me than to watch him hurt himself.
Jodi Picoult
My mother moves so fast I do not even see it coming. But she slaps my face hard enough to make my head snap backward. She leaves a print that stains me long after it’s faded. Just so you know: shame is five-fingered.
Jodi Picoult
