Jodi Picoult Nineteen Minutes
"You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride."
Jodi Picoult Mercy
"You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not."
Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper
"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 Nineteen Minutes
"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 Salem Falls
"The hardest part about being back in the human world was relearning emotion. Everything a wolf does has a practical, simple reason. There is no cold shoulder, no saying one thing when you mean something else, no innuendo. Wolves fight for two reasons: family and territory. Humans are driven by ego; wolves have no room for it and will literally nip it out of you. For a wolf, the world is about understanding, knowledge, respect – attributes that many humans have cast off, along with an appreciation of the natural world."
Jodi Picoult Lone Wolf
"When you're an artist, it's because there's something inside you that you can't keep from spilling out. Maybe it comes in the form of sentences, or a grand jete, or stroke of a paintbrush. The end result can be a million different things. But the seed, it's always the same. It's the emotion there isn't a word for. The feeling that's too big for your body. To show someone your soul, you have to bleed. People who are comfortable, people who are content, they don't create art."
Jodi Picoult The Book of Two Ways
"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."

"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."
Jodi Picoult Handle with Care
"A very wise man once told me that you can't look back-you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future."
Jodi Picoult Salem Falls
"God, don't they teach you how to spell these days?No, I answer. They teach us to use spell-check."
Jodi Picoult
"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 The Storyteller
"History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them."
