be a good listener, don't judge and don't put boundaries on someone else's grief.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I think many of my books, inc...

I think many of my books, including "Handle with Care," including "My Sister's Keeper" circle back to how far are we willing to go for the people we love? I think love changes the way we think. It's the thing that takes you out of what your normal set of beliefs would be.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

My brother believed in all so...

My brother believed in all sorts of mythical creatures: pixies, dragons, werewolves, honest men.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There are so many ways to bet...

There are so many ways to betray someone. You can whisper behind his back. You can deceive him on purpose. You can deliver him into the hands of his enemy, when he trusts you. You can break a promise. The question is, if you do any of those things, are you also betraying yourself?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There are all sorts of losses...

There are all sorts of losses people suffer - from the small to the large. You can lose your keys, your glasses, your virginity. You can lose your head, you can lose your heart, you can lose your mind. You can relinquish your home to move into assisted living, or have a child move overseas, or see a spouse vanish into dementia. Loss is more than just death, and grief is the gray shape-shifter of emotion.

Inside each of us is a monste...

Inside each of us is a monster; inside each of us is a saint. The real question is which one we nurture the most, which one will smite the other.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When your existence is hell, ...

When your existence is hell, death must be heaven.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Life was what happened when a...

Life was what happened when all the what-if’s didn’t, when what you dreamed or hoped or – in this case – feared might come to pass passed by instead.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Every year I tell myself that...

Every year I tell myself that I’m not going to read any reviews and then I do. We’re all human and when I read something negative it hurts. I think when you write it’s part of the game, you’re going to get some good reviews and some bad reviews and that’s how it goes. I don’t write for the reviews.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It was so damn hard to find l...

It was so damn hard to find love in this world, to locate someone who could make you feel that there was a reason you'd been put on this earth. A child, I imagined, was the purest form of that. A child was the love you didn't have to look for, didn't have to prove anything to, didn't have to worry about losing. Which is why, when it happened, it hurt so badly.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Do you know how sometimes - w...

Do you know how sometimes - when you are riding your bike and you start skidding across sand, or when you miss a step and start tumbling down the stairs - you have those long, long seconds to know that you are going to be hurt, and badly?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

You can't win. Either you hav...

You can't win. Either you have the baby and wear your pain on the outside, or you don't have the baby, and you keep that ache in you forever

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

In nineteen minutes, you can ...

In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn; color your hair; watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five. In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world; or you can just jump off it.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Maybe Fate isn't the pond you...

Maybe Fate isn't the pond you swim in but the fisherman floating on top of it, letting you run the line wild until you are weary enough to be reeled back in.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It's because of libraries that books like mine get recommended to book clubs and avid readers, who in turn pass them onto others looking to be whisked away from the world for a little while...and perhaps to learn a bit about themselves in the process.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Whether or not you believe in...

Whether or not you believe in Fate comes down to one thing: who do you blame when something goes wrong.

I am Alice in Wonderland', Josie thought. 'Watch me fall.

What is the point of trying to put down on paper emotions that are too complex, too huge, too overwhelming to be confined by an alphabet? Love isn't the only word that fails. Hate does, too.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Sometimes there aren't words....

Sometimes there aren't words. The silence between us is flung wide as an ocean. But I manage to reach across it, to wrap my arms around him.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Honey, Kate is not going to d...

Honey, Kate is not going to die sooner because you have one more glass of mine, or because you stay overnight in a hotel, or because you let yourself crack up at a bad joke. So sit your ass back down and turn up the volume and act like you're a normal person.
