Jodi Picoult Quotes

There is a curious thing that happens with the passage of time: a calcification of character... Change isn’t always for the worst; the shell that forms around a piece of sand looks to some people like an irritation, and to others, like a pearl Picture Quote #1

I had absolutely no trauma in my childhood. If anyone ever assumed that my books were autobiographical, they’d be sorely disappointed, because none of these things happened to me Picture Quote #1

I consider myself spiritual and I’m married to a man who is both an atheist and a humanist, and my kids have been raised with the traditions of different religions, but they do not go to church or temple. My feeling is that everyone should be able to believe what they want or need to believe Picture Quote #1

I understand better than she’d imagine that history is indelible. You can mask it; you can patch it smooth and clear; but you always know what’s hidden underneath Picture Quote #1

On a shelf above my computer are five letters that spell out W-R-I-T-E. Just in case I forget why I’m there. I also have ‘Wonder Woman’ paraphernalia from when I wrote five issues of the comic, and pictures of my husband and kids Picture Quote #1

You make yourself strong because it’s expected of you. You become confident because someone beside you is unsure. You turn into the person others need you to be Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For me it’s more important that I outline all the facets of a controversial issue and let the reader make up his or her mind. I don’t care if readers change their minds, but I would like readers to ask themselves why their opinion is what it is Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s crazy, right? To love someone who’s hurt you? It’s even crazier to think that someone who hurts you loves you Picture Quote #1

The music we listen to may not define who we are. But it’s a damn good start Picture Quote #1

What was wrong with me? I had a decent life. I was healthy. I wasn’t starving or maimed by a land mine or orphaned. Yet somehow, it wasn’t enough. I had a hole in me, and everything I took for granted slipped through it like sand. I felt like I had swallowed yeast, like whatever evil was festering inside me had doubled in size Picture Quote #1

What he did was wrong. He doesn’t deserve your love. But he does deserve your forgiveness, because otherwise he will grow like a weed in your heart until it’s choked and overrun. The only person who suffers, when you squirrel away all that hate, is you Picture Quote #1

When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it’s safe inside your mouth Picture Quote #1

Maybe mothers - consciously or subconsciously - repelled their daughters in different ways Picture Quote #1

Well, sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least Picture Quote #1

I haven’t run out of ideas yet. Usually while I’m working on a book, I’m doing research for the next one! Picture Quote #1

I feel I’m able to get rid of any demons lurking in my psyche through my writing, which leaves me free to create all of this and to enjoy our family life, stepping away from all the fictional traumas and the dramas. If I write about family in crisis, then I won’t have to live through it, I guess Picture Quote #1

You can fool yourself, you know. You’d think it’s impossible, but it turns out it’s the easiest thing of all Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that’s exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which Picture Quote #1

If you choose to be looking for something, you’d better be ready for whatever it is you are find. Because it may not be what you’ve been expecting Picture Quote #1

You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not Picture Quote #1

Writing is grunt work - you need to have self-motivation, perseverance, and faith... talent is the smallest part of it Picture Quote #1

You always knew after shitty things happened, who your friends really were Picture Quote #1

Just because you had every right to feel sorry for yourself didn’t mean you ever took the opportunity to do so Picture Quote #1

I don’t know whether you can look at your past and find, woven like the hidden symbols on a treasure map, the path that will point to your final destination Picture Quote #1

Disaster was an avalanche, gathering speed with such acceleration that you worried more about getting out of its path, not finding the pebble at its center Picture Quote #1

But there is a different between mending someone who’s broken and finding someone who makes you complete Picture Quote #1
