No matter what Joe Hoffman an...

No matter what Joe Hoffman and Wade Preston say, it's not gender that makes a family; it's love. You don't need a mother and a father; you don't necessarily even need two parents. You just need someone who's got your back.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Logical thinking keeps you fr...

Logical thinking keeps you from wasting time worrying, or hoping. It prevents disappointment. Imagination, on the other hand, only gets you hyped up over things that will never realistically happen.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The only person who suffers, ...

The only person who suffers, when you squirrel alway all that hate, is you.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When you're pregnant, you can...

When you're pregnant, you can think of nothing but having your own body to yourself again; yet after giving birth you realize that the biggest part of you is now somehow external, subject to all sorts of dangers and disappearance, so you spend the rest of your life trying to figure out how to keep her close enough for comfort. That's the strange thing about being a mother: Until you have a baby, you don't even realize how much you were missing one.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It was a catch-22: If you did...

It was a catch-22: If you didn’t put the trauma behind you, you couldn’t move on. But if you did put the trauma behind you, you willingly gave up your claim to the person you were before it happened.

A duck walks into a bar and t...

A duck walks into a bar and the bartender asks, what'll it be? The duck doesn't answer because it's a duck.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

She suddenly remembered study...

She suddenly remembered studying the brain in science class- how a steel rod pierced a man's skull, and he opened his mouth to speak Portuguese, a language he'd never studied. Maybe it would be like this, now, for Josie. Maybe her native tongue, from here on in, would be a string of lies.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I never said I do not remembe...

I never said I do not remember, my grandmother corrects. I said I prefer to forget.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Iknew that all the attributes...

Iknew that all the attributes he was teased for, at age five, were going to work in his favor by thetime he was thirty-five...but I couldn't get him there overnight. You can't fast-forward your child'slife, no matter how much you want to.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

In books, you always know wha...

In books, you always know what's coming next. There are no surprises.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The reason I am still sitting...

The reason I am still sitting at Josef's kitchen table is the same reason traffic slows after a car wreck- you want to see the damage; you can't let yourself pass without that mental snapshot. We are drawn to horror even as we recoil from it.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I'm always writing, even when...

I'm always writing, even when I'm not at my desk. I write on my hands. I used to write on my kids' hands, too, but they don't let me any more. When I'm driving I sometimes write all the way up my arms.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

You are only as invincible as...

You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

So much of the language of lo...

So much of the language of love was like that: you devoured someone with your eyes, you drank in the sight of him, you swallowed him whole. Love was substance, broken down and beating through your bloodstream.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

How could you not want to dra...

How could you not want to draw breath one more day? How could your own life be such a cheap commodity? But then I started to understand: when your existence is hell, death must be heaven.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Whether it was power they sou...

Whether it was power they sought, or revenge, or love-well, those were all just different forms of hunger. The bigger the hole inside you, the more desperate you became to fill it.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

You don't love someone becaus...

You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I've always sort of wondered:...

I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

What I really want to tell hi...

What I really want to tell him is to pick up that baby of his and hold her tight, to set the moon on the edge of her crib and to hang her name up in the stars.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

He began to trace a pattern o...

He began to trace a pattern on the table with the nail of his thumb. "She kept saying she wanted to keep things exactly the way they were, and that she wished she could stop everything from changing. She got really nervous, like, talking about the future. She once told me that she could see herself now, and she could also see the kind of life she wanted to have - kids, husband, suburbs, you know - but she couldn't figure out how to get from point A to point B.
