I don't understand why people...

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 1091 quotes

When someone loves you up one...

When someone loves you up one side and down the other like that, you make every effort to stick around.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There's an honesty to the wol...

There's an honesty to the wolf world that is liberating. There's no diplomacy, no decorum. You tell your enemy you hate him; you show your admiration by confessing the truth. That directness doesn't work with humans, who are masters of subterfuge. Does this dress make me look fat? Do you really love me? Did you miss me? When a person asks this, she doesn't want to know the real answer. She wants you to lie to her. After two years of living with wolves, I had forgotten how many lies it takes to build a relationship.

All it takes is a second and your whole life can get turned upside down.

There is a fine line between ...

There is a fine line between seeing something that's lost as missing, and seeing it as something that might be found.

Scars are just a treasure map for pain you've buried too deep to remember.

Justification is a remarkable...

Justification is a remarkable thing-takes all those solid lines and blurs them, so that honor becomes as supple as a willow, and ethics burst like soap bubbles.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I know Mark,' I reply. 'And I...

I know Mark,' I reply. 'And I don't like him.' 'But I do. And part of being social means being civil to someone you don't like.' 'That's stupid. It's a huge world. why not just get up and walk away?' 'Because that's rude,' Jess explains. 'I think it's rude to stick a smile on your face and pretend you like talking to someone when in reality you'd rather be sticking bamboo slivers under your fingernails.

Grief is a curious thing, when it happens unexpectedly. It is a Band-aid being ripped away, taking the top layer off a family. And the underbelly of a household is never pretty, ours no exception.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

And he made love to her, offe...

And he made love to her, offering his body in both tenderness and anger, unsure which was the best way to pass her bits of his soul so that she could patch her own with it

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

But this is inaccurate. A run...

But this is inaccurate. A runaway train is an accident. Me, I'll jump in front of the tracks. I'll even tie myself down in front of the speeding engine. There's some illogical part of me hat still believes if you want Superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving.

eskimos maybe? believed stars were holes in the sky where people who died could peek through at you

The Inuit say that the stars are holes in heaven. And every time we see the people we loved shining through, we know they're happy.

The problem with you is that ...

The problem with you is that you always see a glass of milk half empty instead of half filled.

How foolish it is to run away with a man who's already run away with someone else.

It's just like nurses in a hospital tend to know more than the doctors most of the time; if you really want to get the answers to a question about court, you should spend more time buttering up the clerks than the judges.

Do you remember the summer we...

Do you remember the summer we signed you up for camp? And the night before you left, you said you've changed your mind and wanted to stay home? I told you to to get a seat on the left side of the bus, so when you pulled away, you'd be able to look back and see me there waiting for you." I press her hand against my cheek, hard enough to leave a mark. "You get that same seat in Heaven. One where you can watch me, watching you.
