Does fate ever play by the rules?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

What's stronger-the need to u...

What's stronger-the need to uphold the law, or the motive to turn one's back on it?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

But what if your obsession ha...

But what if your obsession has nothing to do with drugs or thrills or money? What if what you want most in the world is to recapture the way life was a week, a month, a year ago-and you are willing to do whatever it takes?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The first time someone I love...

The first time someone I loved left me behind...I didn't know how my family would balance. We had been such a sturdy little end table, four solid legs. I was sure we would now be off-kilter, always unstable. Until one day I looked more closely, and realized that we had simply become a stool.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Because hate's just the flip ...

Because hate's just the flip side of love. Like heads and tails on a dime. If you don't know what it feels like to love someone, how would you know what hate is? One can't exist without the other.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There had been so many easy w...

There had been so many easy words between them that Daniel was guilty of nodding every now and then and tuning out the excess. He hadn't known, at the time, that he should have been hoarding these, like bits of sea glass hidden in the pocket of a winter coat to remind him that once it had been summer.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

If you want to love a parent ...

If you want to love a parent you have to understand the incredible investment he or she has in you. If you are a parent, and you want to be loved, you have to deserve it.

My high school guidance counselor, Mrs. Inverholl, once had me take an aptitude test to figure out my future. The number one job recommendation for my set of skills was an air traffic accident investigator, of which there are fewer than fifty in the world. The number two job was a museum curator for Chinese-American studies. The number three job was a circus clown.

She wanted him to tell her that when you love someone so hard and so fierce, it was all right to do things that you knew were wrong.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

You fell in love with someone...

You fell in love with someone because of the tilt of his smile, or because he could make you laugh, or in this case, because he made you believe that you were the only one who could save him.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

That's because you've never b...

That's because you've never been one. You haven't spent years wearing someone else's clothes, taking someone else's name, living in someone else's houses, and working someone else's job to fit in. And if you don't sell out, then you run away... proving you're the Gypsy they said you were all along.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I realized it was like lookin...

I realized it was like looking into the sun—you shouldn't do it, because you'd turn your face away and be blind to everything else.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

How many times would I throw ...

How many times would I throw this away before I realized it was what I had been looking for all along?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Listen, I would say, this is ...

Listen, I would say, this is not how I thought our lives would go; and may be we cannot find our way out of this alley. But there is no one I'd rather be lost with.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Life could take on any number...

Life could take on any number of shapes while you were busy fighting your own demons. But if you were changing at the same rate as the person beside you, nothing else really mattered. You became each other's constant.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I don't know what I was think...

I don't know what I was thinking, coming out here. There are no silver bullets in life, there's just the long, messy climb out of the pit you've dug youself.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

On my license, it says I'm an...

On my license, it says I'm an organ donor, but the truth is I'd consider being an organ martyr. I'm sure I'm worth a lot more dead than alive - the sum of the parts equal more than the whole. I wonder who might wind up walking around with my liver, my lungs, even my eyeballs. I wonder what poor asshole would get stuck with whatever it is in me that passes for a heart.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Jacob's room is the place entropy goes to die.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

You don't love someone becaus...

You don't love someone because they're perfect," she says. "You love them in spite of the fact that they're not." I don't know how to respond to that; it's like being told after thirty-five years that the sky, which I've seen as a brilliant blue, is in fact rather green.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

We all have things that come ...

We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just see them more clearly than others.
