I realize how quickly lies compound. They cover like a coat of paint, one on top of the other, until you cannot remember what color you started with.

If words had flavors, hers would be bitter almonds and coffee grounds.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

When a freedom is taken away f...

When a freedom is taken away from you, I suppose, you recognize it as a privilege, not a right.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

But that's what love is, isn't...

But that's what love is, isn't it? When it hurts you more to see someone suffer than it does to take the pain away?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

But if you seek forgiveness, d...

But if you seek forgiveness, doesn't that automatically mean you cannot be a monster? By definition, doesn't that desperation make you human again?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

There are so many ways a famil...

There are so many ways a family can unravel. All it takes is a tiny slash of selfishness, a rip of greed, a puncture of bad luck. And yet, woven tightly, family can be the strongest bond imaginable.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

If you end your story, it's a ...

If you end your story, it's a static work of art, a finite circle. But if you don't, it belongs to anyone's imagination. It stays alive forever.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The thing that most people did...

The thing that most people didn't understand, if they weren't in his line if work, was that a rape victim and a victim of a fatal accident were both gone forever. The difference was that the rape victim still had to go through the motions of being alive.

It was a catch-22: If you didn't put the trauma behind you, you couldn't move on. But if you did put the trauma behind you, you willingly gave up your claim to the person you were before it happened.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

If you had to pack your whole ...

If you had to pack your whole life into a suitcase-not just the practical things, like clothing, but the memories of the people you had lost and the girl you had once been-what would you take?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Hunger, she often tells me, ha...

Hunger, she often tells me, has nothing to do with the belly and everything to do with the mind. What Mary really runs isn't a bakery, but a community.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

All writers start with a layer...

All writers start with a layer of truth, don't they? If not, their stories would be nothing but spools of cotton candy, a fleeting taste wrapped around nothing but air.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

History tells us that six million Jews disappeared during that war. If there was no Holocaust, where did they go?' She shakes her head. 'All of that, and the world didn't learn anything. Look around. There's still ethnic cleansing. There's discrimination.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

She became whoever she needed ...

She became whoever she needed to be to survive,but she never let anyone else define her.

I pointed to the wound. 'It's...

I pointed to the wound. 'It's missing,' I said. My grandmother smiled, and that was all it took for me to stop seeing the scar, and to recognize her again. 'Yes,' she said. 'But see how much of me is left?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Here are the things I know for...

Here are the things I know for sure: When you think you're right, you are most likely wrong. Things that breakЂ'be they bones, hearts, or promisesЂ'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,

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I love feeling loved. I don't ...

I love feeling loved. I don't love knowing that I will always come in second place. I love the fact that at least sometimes when I am in my home, I'm not alone. I don't love the fact that it's not always. I love not having to answer to him. I don't love that he doesn't answer to me. I love the way I feel when I am with him. I don't love the way I feel when I'm not.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It was no coincidence, that fe...

It was no coincidence, that fear could move a person to extremes, just as seamlessly as love. They were the conjoined twins of emotion: If you didn't know what was at stake to lose, you had nothing to fight for.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

The world just feels different...

The world just feels different for those of us who come alive after dark. It's more fragile and unreal, a replica of the one everyone else inhabits.

You would be surprised at the lengths you will go to believe the best about someone if you truly love him
