Summertime, I think, is a col...

Summertime, I think, is a collective unconscious. We all remember the notes that made up the song of the ice cream man; we all know what it feels like to brand our thighs on a playground slide that's heated up like a knife in a fire; we all have lain on our backs with our eyes closed and our hearts beating across the surface of our lids, hoping that this day will stretch just a little longer than the last one, when in fact it's all going in the other direction.

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 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.

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

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.

It is so strange, to encounter an ex. It's as if you're in a foreign film, and what you're saying face-to-face has nothing to do with the subtitles flowing beneath you. We are so careful not to touch, although once upon a time, I slept plastered to him in our bed, like lichen on a rock. We are two strangers who knows every shameful secret, every hidden freckle, every fatal flaw in each other.

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

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.

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

If you want to know someone's...

If you want to know someone's story, they have to tell it aloud. But every time, the telling is a little but different. It's new, even to me.

Eric understands that the world is rarelythe way it is supposed to be. And he knows that, given the chance, we don't have to wait for someone to make messes of our lives. We do a good enough job, ourselves.

You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel the world give way beneath you.

Ask a kid who's struggling in...

Ask a kid who's struggling in math if he likes being in a mixed-level class, and he'll tell you he feels like a moron. Ask the math genius if he likes being in a mixed-level class, and he'll tell you he's sick of doing all the work during group projects. Sometimes, it's better to sort like with like.

Once the world was pulled out from beneath your feet, did you ever get to stand on firm ground again?

What being home-schooled has taught me, more than anything, is what a waste of a life high school is.

When your mother is made out of your dreams, anything real is bound to disappoint you.
