Once the world was pulled out...

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

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

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.

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

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Eric understands that the wor...

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.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Why are you doing this to you...

Why are you doing this to yourself? When something bad happens, why do you have to pick at it until it bleeds all over again?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Sometimes we don't know we're...

Sometimes we don't know we're dreaming; we can't even fathom that we're asleep.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

And in general, the residents...

And in general, the residents of the town wondered why they all felt hollow just beneath the throat, the result of missing something they had never been able to name in the first place.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The hardest thing in the worl...

The hardest thing in the world is believing someone can change. It's always easier to go along with the way things are than to admit that you might have been wrong in the first place.

I am not a religious man. I h...

I am not a religious man. I have not attended a service for many years. But I do believe in God. My own practice of religion, you could say, it a nonpractice. I personally feel that it's just as worthy on a weekend to rake the lawns of an elderly neighbor or to climb a mountain and marvel at the beauty of this land we live in as it is to sing hosannas or go to Mass. In other words, I think every many finds his own church- and not all of them have four walls - Judge Haig (Page 399)

How do you walk into someone'...

How do you walk into someone's life again after twenty-eight years? How do you pick up, when you were too young to know where you left off.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

In this new place we've found...

In this new place we've found, sometimes there aren't words, because the truth can be even more difficult than the lies.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The brain of a person in love...

The brain of a person in love will show activity in the amygdala, which is associated with gut feelings, and in the nucleus accumbens, an area associated with rewarding stimuli that tends to be active in drug abusers. Or, to recap: the brain of a person in love doesn't look like the brain of someone overcome by deep emotion. It looks like the brain of a person who's been snorting coke.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

But then again, maybe bad thi...

But then again, maybe bad things happen because it’s the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It is so easy to presume that...

It is so easy to presume that while your own world has ground to an absolute halt, so has everyone else's.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Asking me to describe my son ...

Asking me to describe my son is like asking me to hold the ocean in a paper cup

You okay in there?" "No, I'm hanging from a closet rod.

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

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

It is so strange, to encounte...

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.
