There are millions of people ...

There are millions of people in the world, and the spirits will see that most of them you never have to meet. But there are one or two you are tied to, and the spirits will cross you back and forth, threading so many knots until they catch and you finally get it right.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Maybe you had to leave in ord...

Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There's always going to be ba...

There's always going to be bad stuff out there. But here's the amazing thing -- light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can't stick the dark into the light.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Forgiving isn't something you...

Forgiving isn't something you do for someone else. It's something you do for yourself. It's saying, 'You're not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.' It's saying, 'You don't get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

My mother... she is beautiful...

My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.

We all know that a sky with clouds in it is much more interesting than one that doesn’t have any.

Doing the right thing for som...

Doing the right thing for someone else occasionally means doing something that feels wrong to you.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The optimist in me wants to b...

The optimist in me wants to believe sexuality will eventually become like handwriting: there’s no right way and wrong way to do it. We’re all just wired differently. It's also worth noting that when you meet someone, you never bother to ask if he’s right or left-handed. After all: does it really matter to anyone other than the person holding the pen?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I'm grateful for my children,...

I'm grateful for my children, who are slowly emerging to become their own wonderful, interesting, compassionate young adults - which makes me believe that along the way I must have done something right.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Love is not an equation, it i...

Love is not an equation, it is not a contract, and it is not a happy ending. Love is the slate under the chalk, the ground that buildings rise, and the oxygen in the air. It is the place you come back to, no matter where your headed

I believe that having somethi...

I believe that having something to hope for - even if it's just a better tomorrow- is the most powerful drug on this planet.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Although you hadn't asked why...

Although you hadn't asked why, it had less to do with you not noticing than with you not wanting to hear the answer.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I believed the reason there w...

I believed the reason there was a God was to prevent such atrocities from happening to the same person twice. But nothing prepared me for this: I have done what I've sworn I could never do; I have become my own nightmare... I have lost control.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I ...understand how a parent ...

I ...understand how a parent might hit a child- it's because you can look into their eyes and see a reflection of yourself that you wish you hadn't.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There should be a statute of ...

There should be a statute of limitation on grief. A rulebook that says it is all right to wake up crying, but only for a month. That after 42 days you will no longer turn with your heart racing, certain you have heard her call out your name. That there will be no fine imposed if you feel the need to clean out her desk; take down her artwork from the refrigerator; turn over a school portrait as you pass - if only because it cuts you fresh again to see it. That it's okay to measure the time she has been gone, the way we once measured her birthdays.

It never failed to amaze me how the most ordinary day could be catapulted into the extraordinary in the blink of an eye.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When you showed someone how y...

When you showed someone how you felt, it was fesh and honest. Whe you told someone how you felt, there might be nothing behind the words but habit or expectation.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I know what love is. When you...

I know what love is. When you find the person you are supposed to love, bells ring and fireworks go off in your head and you can't find the words to speak and you think about him all the time. When you find the person you are supposed to love, you will know by staring deeply into their eyes.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

My favorite part of any event...

My favorite part of any event is a Q&A. I do get asked a lot of the same questions but every now and then someone surprises me - and I LOVE that.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I wondered about the explorer...

I wondered about the explorers who'd sailed their ships to the end of the world. How terrified they must have been when they risked falling over the edge; how amazed to discover, instead, places they had seen only in their dreams.
