Memories aren't stored in the...

Memories aren't stored in the heart or the head or even the soul, if you ask me, but in the spaces between any given two people.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It was the first time she'd d...

It was the first time she'd discovered something she really didn't want to find, and she didn't know what to do once she'd found it.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The English judged a person s...

The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When you're a parent you find...

When you're a parent you find yourself looking at the unknown that is your child, trying to find a piece of yourself inside her, because sometimes that is what it takes to claim.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Ross was a firm believer that...

Ross was a firm believer that you could not force circumstance. You could buckle your seat belt, but still crash the car. You could throw yourself in front of an oncoming train, but somehow survive. You could wait for years to find a ghost, and then have one sneak up on you when you were too busy falling in love with a woman to pay attention. To that end, he made the conscious decision to stop waiting for Lia. When he least expected her, that was when she would show up.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

We make messes of our lives, ...

We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that's exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I think a persons life is sup...

I think a persons life is supposed to be like a DVD. You can see the version everyone else sees, or you can choose the directors cut-the way he wanted you to see it, before everything else got in the way. There are menus, probably, so that you can start at the good spots and not have to relive the bad ones. You can measure your life by the number of scenes you’ve survived, or the minutes you’ve been stuck there. Probably, though, life is more like one of those dumb video surveillance tapes. Grainy, no matter how hard you stare at it. And looped: the same thing, over and over.

Sometimes it made her want to...

Sometimes it made her want to put her fist through glass; other times, it made her cry a river.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Sometimes knowing what's righ...

Sometimes knowing what's right isn't a rational decision, or even what works on paper. Sometimes leaving is the best course of action after all.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

People don’t just disappear. ...

People don’t just disappear. There’s always a reason, or an enemy with a grudge. There’s always a loose thread that starts to unravel.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I grew up in a household wher...

I grew up in a household where we didn't really talk about our feelings, and where the only reason you went to a doctor was because you'd accidentally cut off a limb with a chain saw.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I know that the first person ...

I know that the first person I kissed won't be nearly as important as the last person I kiss.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There are so many things I ca...

There are so many things I can't believe. That people deserve what they get, both bad and good. That one day I'll live in a world where people are judged by what they do instead of who they are. That happy endings don't have contingencies and conditions.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Once, I asked my mom why star...

Once, I asked my mom why stars shine. She said they were night-lights, so the angels could find their way around in Heaven. But when I asked my dad, he started talking about gas, and somehow I put it all together and figured that the food God served caused multiple trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I wish I could tell him I und...

I wish I could tell him I understand: the higher you raise your hopes, the farther you have to fall.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When your mother is made out ...

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

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

He is dark and quiet and comp...

He is dark and quiet and completely different from me, which is exactly why I should put distance between us. But it is also the reason I find him so fascinating.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

What could you give me," I as...

What could you give me," I ask, my voice shaking, "to make me forget ... that you forgot about me?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

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.

What being home-schooled has ...

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