More quotes by Jodi Picoult
You can't pay a landlord in dogma.
Jodi Picoult
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. You hand off a serving dish and you've done your job - no need to get personally involved, and your conscience is clean. Food is the currency of aid.

No matter how much you consumed, you would not have your fill.
Jodi Picoult
Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.
Jodi Picoult
The truth doesn't always set you free people prefer to believe prettier, neatley wrapped lies

There's no way to explain to a child that the line between good and evil isn't nearly as black and white as a fairy tale would lead you to believe. That an ordinary person can turn into a villain, under the right circumstances. That sometimes we dragon slayers do things we aren't proud of.

Jodi Picoult
the letters are mixed up. U and I should be together.
Jodi Picoult
Normal, in our house, is like a blanket too short for a bed--sometimes it covers you just fine, and other times it leaves you cold and shaking and worst of all, you never know which of the two it's going to be.
Jodi Picoult
After a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures can never be anything but broken.
Jodi Picoult
But once you throw a stone, there are ripples in the pond, even if you remove the rock.
Jodi Picoult
You're unwilling to go out on a limb because it just might break underneath you.
Jodi Picoult
Talking out loud to fictional characters is just the tip of the iceberg.
Jodi Picoult
I’d much rather pretend I’m somewhere else, and any time I open the pages of a book, that happens.
Jodi Picoult
Memory is like plaster: peel it back and you just might find a completely different picture.
Jodi Picoult
something is always falling apart in me.
Jodi Picoult
Here I am, wasting away inside a book I wish I could escape, and all she wants to do is stay in the story. If I could talk to this girl Delilah, I’d ask her why on earth she would ever trade a single second of the world she’s in for the one in which I’m stuck
Jodi Picoult
You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
