The first person you fell in love with stole your heart. The first person you made love with stole your soul. And if these were one and the same, you were doomed.

The first person you fell in love with stole your heart. The first person you made love with stole your soul. And if these were one and the same, you were doomed.

Heart, Soul, Firsts

true love is felonious… You take someone’s breath away… You rob them of the ability to utter a single word… You steal a heart.

True Love, Heart, Love Is

Jodi Picoult (2009). “My Sister's Keeper - Movie Tie-In: A Novel”, p.159, Simon and Schuster

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

Heart, Thinking, Missing

Jodi Picoult (2009). “Handle with Care: A Novel”, p.492, Simon and Schuster

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.

Weed, Hate, Heart

Jodi Picoult (2013). “The Storyteller”, p.451, Simon and Schuster

Love, Romantic, Heart

Jodi Picoult (2013). “Nineteen Minutes: A Novel”, p.144, Simon and Schuster

I don’t think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You’re just pulled to that person like true north, whether it’s good for you or bound to break your heart.

Falling In Love, Heart, Thinking

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

Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf. There is only so much you can pile onto it before something falls off an edge and you are left to pick up the pieces.

Fall, Heart, Simple

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Collection #4: Change of Heart, Handle with Care, and House Rules”, p.1002, Simon and Schuster

Bleeding heart, he’d called her. Well. He should know. He’d been the first to rip it to pieces.

Rip, Heart, Pieces

Jodi Picoult (2013). “Nineteen Minutes: A Novel”, p.56, Simon and Schuster

Summertime, I think, is a collective unconscious. We all remember the notes that made up the song of the ice cream man; we all know what it feels like to brand our thighs on a playground slide that's heated up like a knife in a fire; we all have lain on our backs with our eyes closed and our hearts beating across the surface of our lids, hoping that this day will stretch just a little longer than the last one, when in fact it's all going in the other direction.

Song, Heart, Eye

After a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures can never be anything but broken.

Stress, Heart, Broken

I felt a splinter of guilt wedge into my heart. Charlotte had hurt me; in return, I'd hurt Rob. Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late we've wounded the people we're trying to protect.

Hurt, Heart, Dark

Jodi Picoult (2009). “Handle with Care: A Novel”, p.252, Simon and Schuster

She felt a cage coming down around her; too late she realized that he had her trapped by the heart. And like any unwilling animal that was well and truly caught, she could escape only by leaving a piece of herself behind.

Heart, Animal, Leaving

Strong, Memories, Heart

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Collection #2: Perfect Match, Second Glance, and My Sister's Keeper”, p.452, Simon and Schuster

Jobs, Children, Heart

Jodi Picoult (2009). “My Sister's Keeper - Movie Tie-In: A Novel”, p.108, Simon and Schuster

I imagine the touch of someone who loves you so much, he cannot bear to watch you sleep; and so you wake up with his hand on your heart.

Heart, Thinking, Two

Jodi Picoult (2009). “My Sister's Keeper - Movie Tie-In: A Novel”, p.155, Simon and Schuster

I had the heart of the relationship, and no body to grow it in... It broke.

Heart, Body, Broke

Jodi Picoult (2009). “My Sister's Keeper - Movie Tie-In: A Novel”, p.155, Simon and Schuster

Things break all the time. Day breaks, waves break, voices break. Promises break. Hearts break.

Heart, Voice, Promise

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Reader's Companion: A Collection of Excerpts”, p.75, Simon and Schuster

I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet.

Moving, Heart, Feet

Jodi Picoult (2009). “Handle with Care: A Novel”, p.268, Simon and Schuster

But mostly I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet. I still loved him. It felt like anything else permanent that has gone missing; a lost tooth, a severed leg. You might know better, but that doesn’t keep your tongue from poling at the hole in your gum, or your phantom limb from aching.

Moving, Heart, Feet

Jodi Picoult (2009). “Handle with Care: A Novel”, p.268, Simon and Schuster

We sit for a few more moments, although there's really nothing left to say. This is new to me, too, an entire conversation that takes place in silence, because the heart has its own language. I will remember what Eric says even though he doesn't say a word. I will tell it to her.

Heart, Silence, Eric

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Collection #3: Vanishing Acts, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes”, p.425, Simon and Schuster
