It doesn't matter what it is t...

It doesn't matter what it is that leaves a hole inside you. It just matters that it's there.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It turns out that sharing the ...

It turns out that sharing the past with someone is different from reliving it when you're alone. It feels less like a wound, more like a poultice.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I don't know what it is about ...

I don't know what it is about death that makes it so hard. I suppose it's the one-sided communication; the fact that we never get to ask our loved one if she suffered, if she is happy wherever she is now...if she is somewhere. It's the question mark that comes with death that we can't face, not the period.

People have to experience things that terrify them. If they don't, how will they ever come to appreciate safety?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Each memory is like a paper fl...

Each memory is like a paper flower stowed up a magician's sleeve: invisible one moment and then so substantial and florid the next I cannot imagine how it stayed hidden all this time. And like those paper flowers, once they've been let loose in the world, the memories are impossible to tuck away again.

If history has a habit of repeating itself, doesn't someone have to stay behind to shout out a warning?

I don't believe in God. But si...

I don't believe in God. But sitting there, in a room full of those who feel otherwise, I realize that I do believe in people. In their strength to help each other, and to thrive in spite of the odds, I believe that the extraordinary trumps the ordinary, any day. 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

Inside each of us is a monster...

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

I have loved before, but it di...

I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this. I have kissed before, but it didn't burn me alive. Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that, even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.

I don't think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You're just pulled to that person like true north, whether it's good for you or bound to break your heart.

Religion isn't in your DNA. you don't believe just because your parents believe.

Even the most beautiful things can be toxic.

Power isn't about doing something terrible to someone who's weaker than you, Reiner. It's having the strength to do something terrible, and choosing not to.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The reason I am still sitting ...

The reason I am still sitting at Josef's kitchen table is the same reason traffic slows after a car wreck- you want to see the damage; you can't let yourself pass without that mental snapshot. We are drawn to horror even as we recoil from it.

Forgiveness is spiritual. Punishment is legal,' Leo says. 'They're not mutually exclusive.

My grandmother told me that her father used to ask her a riddle: What must you break apart in order to bring a family close together? Bread, of course.

There was no black or white. Someone who had been good her entire life could, in fact, do something evil. People were just as capable of committing murder, under the right circumstances, as any monster.

Sometimes, all it takes to become human again is someone who can see you that way, no matter how you present on the surface.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

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.

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?
