| a7d4569 | It was the most perfect moment in my life. It was the last perfect moment in my life. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| db6d0e9 | Am I OK? I'm lots of things. I'm lonely, I'm tired, I'm sad, I'm happy, I'm lucky, I'm unlucky; I'm a million different things every day of the week. But I suppose OK is one of them. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| dc2d55a | The trouble with being punctual is that there's nobody there to see it, | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| e1ac00a | Fear drives us to do many things in our lives. For me, the fear of losing a loved one, and all those terrifying thoughts of what it's like to be left behind and feel alone, drove me to conceive | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| c9b92a2 | Freedom of speech isn't something you can mess with with journalists. You try to silence them, they'll shout even louder. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| 6a7c2d7 | If you think about someone you've loved and lost, you are already with them. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 449a383 | Listen," she said. "I may not be what you want right now, but I'm all you've got." -- | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 1d71dba | if i have gained anything over these months, it is the knowledge there is no starting over - only living with the mistakes you've made. but then, caleb taught me long ago you can't build anything without some sort of foundation. maybe we learn to live our lives by understanding, firsthand, how not to live them. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 7e284ea | Kindle, isn't it?" the waitress asked. "I got one for Christmas, and I love it. I'm reading my way through all of Jodi Picoult's books." "Oh, probably not all of them," Wesley said. "Huh? Why not?" "She's probably got another one done already. That's all I meant." "And James Patterson's probably written one since he got up this morning!" she said, and went off chortling." | Stephen King | ||
| 6c0c8cd | Close a door, and you'd still feel a breeze through the window. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 6804eb6 | This isn't a lie, actually. I don't care why Edward left. All I really want to know is why I wasn't enough to make him stay. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 1f32782 | I have come to believe that this life I'm wearing will never really fit. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| fa73008 | believe me, you're all I've thought about --" At this, I grin." | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 83d0db7 | He is dark and quiet and completely different from me, which is exactly why I should put distance between us. But it is also the reason I find him so fascinating. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 2c7cdb7 | As anyone who's ever contracted it knows, lies are an infectious disease. They slip under the almond slivers of your fingernails and into your bloodstream. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| a55e256 | never trust a man who wears a pinkie ring. . . the only jewelry a guy should wear is a wedding band or a super bowl ring | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 7ce67a3 | we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night- because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than the law. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| b185afd | When you're pregnant, you can think of nothing but having your own body to yourself again; yet after giving birth you realize that the biggest part of you is now somehow external... | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 855852e | It feels like a punch. Tears fill my eyes, and I wonder how I could be upset over losing something I never had. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 9972ae1 | I had not asked to be rescued, true, but that did not mean I didn't need saving. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| a65a1f2 | I'm not saying you did the wrong thing. I'm not even saying it wasn't something I'd thought of doing, myself. But even if it was the just thing to do, or the fitting thing, it still wasn't the right thing. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 81f45d3 | You want to know what I want? I'm sick of being a guinea pig. I'm sick, but I'm never f*cking sick enough for this family. | sick | Jodi Picoult | |
| 11e5c64 | I have never understood why it is called losing a child. No parent is that careless. We all know exactly where our sons and daughters are; we just don't necessarily want them to be there | Jodi Picoult | ||

| 4edd2c6 | Things break all the time. Glass, and dishes, and fingernails. Cars and contracts and potato chips. You can break a record, a horse, a dollar. You can break the ice. There are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. Day breaks, waves break, voices break. Chains can be broken. So can silence and fever. Promises break. Hearts break. Fault lines: these are the places where the earth breaks apart, these are the spots where earthquakes.. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 5316c17 | 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. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 53e756f | There was such art in the ordinary, it could leave you in tears. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 284d82d | I feel like I've been standing underneath an open window, just as a baby gets tossed out. I grab the baby, right, because who wouldn't? But then another baby gets tossed out, so I pass the baby to someone else, and I make the catch. This keeps happening. And before you know it there are a whole bunch of people who are getting really good at passing along babies, just like I'm good at catching them, but no one ever asks who the fuck is throw.. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| de1fafb | No matter who else is mourning, you're in your own little cell. Even when people try to comfort you, you're aware that now there is a barrier between you and them, made of the horrible thing that happened, that keeps you isolated. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 17a896d | What she couldn't put into word was what had happened in between to change her from one person into the other | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 2ea7bfa | Once, Lacy had been present at the birth of an infant that was missing half its heart. The family had known their child would not live; they chose to carry through with the pregnancy, in the hope that they could have a few brief moments on this earth with her before she was gone for good. Lacy had stood in a corner of the room as the parents held their daughter. She didn't study their faces; she just couldn't. Instead, she focused on the me.. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| ae0f3a8 | Asking me to describe my son is like asking me to hold the ocean in a paper cup | Jodi Picoult | ||

| 850a405 | You can be happy for someone else's good fortune but that doesn't mean you forget your own bad luck. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 274c508 | You know, Sage, Jesus didn't tell us to forgive everyone. He said turn the other cheek, but only if you the one who was hit. Even the Lord's Prayer says it loud and clear: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Not others. What Jesus challenges us to do is to let go of the wrong done to you personally, not the wrong done to someone else. But most Christians incorrectly assume that this means that being a goo.. | god forgiveness | Jodi Picoult | |
| e6c69b5 | It's also worth noting that, when you meet someone, you never 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 | ||
| 77c3141 | For every person you make happy, there's another one you disappoint. | Jodi Picoult | ||

| f706372 | if you don't get sick, you won't get well. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| af09d67 | When I was younger, my brother told me that he had the power to shrink me to the size of an ant. In fact, he said, he used to have another sister, but he shrank her down and stepped on her. He also told me that when you became a grown-up, you were admitted into a private party that was full of monsters and horror movie characters. There was Chucky, drinking a cup of coffee. And the mummy on the cover of the Hardy Boys book that used to frea.. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 67f392e | But she couldn't dismiss easily his light touch with her. No pushing or pressing, none of that herding and corralling bullshit, unlike any of her old boyfriends. And maybe who you fell for and who you eventually loved wasn't rational, no matter how hard you tried to list pros and cons and sum the results. You couldn't think your way through it, not all the way. Maybe just the scent of somebody carried more weight than everything else put to.. | Charles Frazier | ||
