It was possible that a miracle was not something that happened to you, but rather something that didn’t.

It was possible that a miracle was not something that happened to you, but rather something that didn’t.

Miracle, Happened

What if love wasn't the act of finding what you were missing but the give-and-take that made you both match?

Sweet Love, Giving, Missing

The real power of a wolf isn't in its fearsome jaws, which can clench with fifteen hundred pounds of pressure per square inch. The real power of a wolf is having that strength, and knowing when not to use it.

Real, Squares, Knowing

Jodi Picoult (2012). “Lone Wolf: A Novel”, p.62, Simon and Schuster

I have never fit into this town, this marriage, this skin. I am the child who was picked last to play tag; I am the girl who laughed although she did not get the joke; I am the piecemeal part of you that you pretend doesn't exist, except it is all I am, all the time.

Girl, Children, Play

After all, how many of us had tried to forget something traumatic...only to find it printed on the back of our eyelids, tattooed on our tongues?

Tongue, Forget, Tattooed

Jodi Picoult (2008). “Change of Heart: A Novel”, p.237, Simon and Schuster

Get Well, Sick, Wells

I don't know what you think of me. And you certainly would never picture us together. But probably peanut butter was just peanut butter for a long time, before someone ever thought of pairing it with jelly. And there was salt, but it started to taste better when there was pepper. And what's the point of butter without bread? (Why are all these examples of FOODS?!!?!?!?!?!?!) Anyway by myself I'm nothing special. But with you I could be.

Thinking, Long, Special

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Collection #3: Vanishing Acts, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes”, p.1237, Simon and Schuster

Life sometimes gets so bogged down in the details, you forget you are living it. There is always another appointment to be met, another bill to pay, another symptom presenting, another uneventful day to be notched onto the wooden wall. We have synchronized our watches, studied our calendars, existed in minutes, and completely forgotten to step back and see what we've accomplished.

Life, Wall, Details

Jodi Picoult (2009). “My Sister's Keeper: A Novel”, p.420, Simon and Schuster

People, Understood, Fronts

Jodi Picoult (2003). “Second Glance: A Novel”, p.111, Simon and Schuster

When it's all over, you're remembered for what you did, not what you said you were going to do.

Over You, Said, Remembered

There's no way to explain to a child that the line between good and evil isn't nearly as black and white as a fairy tale would lead you to believe. That an ordinary person can turn into a villain, under the right circumstances. That sometimes we dragon slayers do things we aren't proud of.

Life, Children, Believe

Princes don't come around everyday, and happy endings don't grow on trees

Tree, Everyday, Happy Endings

Two, People

Jodi Picoult, Samantha van Leer (2013). “Between the Lines”, p.222, Simon and Schuster

Men don't traipse. We... Swagger

Men, Swagger

Jodi Picoult, Samantha van Leer (2013). “Between the Lines”, p.256, Simon and Schuster

Add, Lines, Disappear

Jodi Picoult (2006). “The Tenth Circle: A Novel”, p.50, Simon and Schuster

Broken, Different, Finding Someone

Jodi Picoult (2011). “Sing You Home: A Novel”, p.237, Simon and Schuster

There was a fine line between love and hate you heard that cliche all the time. But no one told you that the moment you crossed it would be the one you least expected. You'd fall in love and crack open a secret door to let your soul mate in. You just never expected such closeness one day to feel like an intrusion.

Falling In Love, Hate, Doors

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Collection #3: Vanishing Acts, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes”, p.569, Simon and Schuster

True love can break the most powerful curse

Powerful, Most Powerful, Break

I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.

Daughter, Empathy, Cry

Jodi Picoult (2009). “My Sister's Keeper: A Novel”, p.41, Simon and Schuster

Bad is not an absolute, but a relative term. Ask the robber who used the cash he stole to feed his infant; the rapist who was sexually abused as a child; the kidnapper who truly believed he was saving a life. And just because you break the law doesn't mean you have intentionally crossed the line into evil. Sometimes the line creeps up on you, and before you know it, you're standing on the other side.

Children, Mean, Law

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Collection #3: Vanishing Acts, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes”, p.214, Simon and Schuster
