The book that made me want to be a writer in the first place was Gone with the Wind - I read it and wanted to create a whole world out of words, too.

More quotes by Jodi Picoult
i know what it's like to wake up thinking you will be able to cast the people who play the starring roles in your life, only to realize that you have to watch it from the audience.
Jodi Picoult
I think you're the only person who gets me. When I'm with you, the world doesn't feel like a problem I can't figure out. Please come to the dance, because you're my music.
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
I understand better than she'd imagine that history is indelible. You can mask it you can patch it smooth and clear but you always know what's hidden underneath.
Jodi Picoult
There is no one truth. There’s only what happened, based on how you perceive it.
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
Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.
Jodi Picoult
Sometimes, all it takes to become human again is someone who can see you that way, no matter how you present on the surface.
Jodi Picoult
On a really dark night, you can see between 1,000 and 1,500 stars, and there are millions more that haven't been discovered. It is so easy to think that the world revolves around you, but all you have to do is stare up at the sky to realize it isn't that way at all. -Brian Fitzgerald
Jodi Picoult
Anna is the only proof I have that I was born into this family. Instead of dropped off on the doorstep by some Bonnie and Clyde couple that ran off into the night. On the surface, we’re polar opposites. Under the skin, though, we’re the same: people think they know what they’re getting, and they’re always wrong. (Jesse)
Jodi Picoult
Everyone knew that if you divided reality by expectation, you got a happiness quotient. But when you invert the equation - expectation divided by reality - you didn't get the opposite of happiness. What you got, Lewis realized, was hope.
Jodi Picoult
When you're a parent you find yourself looking at the unknown that is your child, trying to find a piece of yourself inside her, because sometimes that is what it takes to claim.
Jodi Picoult
Although you hadn't asked why, it had less to do with you not noticing than with you not wanting to hear the answer.
Jodi Picoult
Was there a language of loss? Did everyone who suffered speak a different dialect?
Jodi Picoult
Your hand fits mine like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle
Jodi Picoult
Life can change in an instant.
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 can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to lose the people you love.
Jodi Picoult
don't say it. don't tell me that nobody's going to stare at me, because they will. don't tell me it doesn't matter, because it does. and don't tell me i look fine because that's a lie.
Jodi Picoult
People in the real world would kill for a happily ever after, and you're willing to just throw it away ? I look away from her. It's hardly a happily ever after when you wind up right at the beginning.
Jodi Picoult
