When was the last time someon...

When was the last time someone read aloud to you? Probably when you were a child, and if you think back, you'll remember how safe you felt, tucked under the covers, or curled in someone's arms, as a story was spun around you like a web.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

To say there had been a loss ...

To say there had been a loss was ludicrous; one lost a shoe or a set of keys. You did not suffer the death of a child and say there was a loss. There was a catastrophe. A devastation. A hell.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

You can tell yourself that yo...

You can tell yourself that you would be willing to lose everything you have in order to get something you want. But it's a catch-22: all of those things you're willing to lose are what make you recognizable. Lose them, and you've lost yourself.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Here are the things I know fo...

Here are the things I know for sure: When you think you're right, you are most likely wrong. Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole. And, in spite of what I said, you can miss a person you've never known. I learn this over and over again.

For better or for worse, musi...

For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Someone once told me that whe...

Someone once told me that when you give birth to a daughter, you've just met the person whose hand you'll be holding the day you die.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Mistakes are like the memorie...

Mistakes are like the memories you hide in an attic: old love letters from relationships that tanked, photos of dead relatives, toys from a childhood you miss. Out of sight is out of mind, but somewhere deep inside you know they still exist. And you also know that you're avoiding them.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Seeing her sitting there unre...

Seeing her sitting there unresponsive makes me realize that silence has a sound.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The right idea is the one you...

The right idea is the one you can't stop thinking about; the one that's in your head first thing in the morning.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Once you had put the pieces b...

Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Someone real," I hear myself ...

Someone real," I hear myself saying. "Someone who never has to pretend, and who I never have to pretend around. Someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. Someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because he understands music can be too big for words. Someone who knows me better than I know myself. Someone I want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Someone I feel like I've known my whole life, even if I haven't.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

How could you go about choosi...

How could you go about choosing something that would hold the half of your heart you had to bury?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

words are like nets - we hope...

words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It seems to me that no matter...

It seems to me that no matter what religion you subscribe to, acts of kindness are the stepping-stones to making the world a better place--because we become better people in it.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

true love is felonious… You t...

true love is felonious… You take someone’s breath away… You rob them of the ability to utter a single word… You steal a heart.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Words are like eggs dropped f...

Words are like eggs dropped from great heights; you can no more call them back than ignore the mess they leave when they fall.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Life can change in an instant...

Life can change in an instant; don't be so worried about the future that you forget to celebrate what you have right now.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Sometimes when you pick up yo...

Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It takes two people to make a...

It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When you finally start to wri...

When you finally start to write something, do not let yourself stop...even when you are convinced it's the worst garbage ever. This is the biggest caveat for beginning writers. Instead, force yourself to finish what you began, and THEN go back and edit it.
