More quotes by Jodi Picoult
It was possible that a miracle was not something that happened to you, but rather something that didn’t.
Jodi Picoult
the relationship between people knot so easily, there needs to be a person skilled at working free the threads. Sometimes, though, the only way to extricate a tangle is to cut it out and start fresh.
Jodi Picoult
A lot of the hallmark behaviors of autism - flat affect, stimming, not looking someone in the eye - could very easily be misinterpreted as signs of guilt.
Jodi Picoult
She had never been a pretty crier. She sobbed the way she did everything else - with passion and excess.
Jodi Picoult
You're unwilling to go out on a limb because it just might break underneath you.
Jodi Picoult
It's disappointing to know that someone can see right through you.
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. (Seriously, how could anyone who isn't a native English speaker 'get the picture,' so to speak, and not assume it has something to do with a photo or a painting?)
Jodi Picoult
I, um, I have this problem. I broke up with my boyfriend, you see. And I'm pretty upset about it, so I wanted to talk to my best friend. [...] The thing is, they're both you.
Jodi Picoult
I wish I could tell him I understand: the higher you raise your hopes, the farther you have to fall.
Jodi Picoult
If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?
Jodi Picoult
I wondered about the explorers who'd sailed their ships to the end of the world. How terrified they must have been when they risked falling over the edge how amazed to discover, instead, places they had seen only in their dreams.
Jodi Picoult
You can't pay a landlord in dogma.
Jodi Picoult
I don't understand why it's a sin if you love something and want to keep it from having to suffer.
Jodi Picoult
Missed opportunities were never superficial wounds they cut straight to the bone.
Jodi Picoult
You can tell yourself that you would be willing to lose everything you have in order to get something you want. But it's a catch-22: all of those things you're willing to lose are what make you recognizable. Lose them, and you've lost yourself.
Jodi Picoult
Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.
Jodi Picoult
The desperate usually succeed because they have nothing to lose.
Jodi Picoult
I imagine how cool it would be if all small talk wasn't lies.
Jodi Picoult
You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
Jodi Picoult
There are two reasons not to tell the truth--becuase lying will get you what you want, and because lying will keep someone from getting hurt.
Jodi Picoult
