Moving On, Past, Behind You

Jodi Picoult (2001). “Salem Falls”, p.299, Simon and Schuster

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.

Past, Forgiving, Important

Losing Chloe had been like reading a wonderfulook only to realize that all the pages past a certain point were blank.

Reading, Past, Chloe

Ross believed in past lives. Moreover, he believed that the person you fell in love with in each life was the same person you fell in love with in the life before, and the one before that. Sometimes, you might miss her - she'd be reborn in post-World War I generation, and you wouldn't come back until the fifties. Sometimes, your paths would cross and you wouldn't recognize each other. Get it right - that is: fall madly, truly, deeply - and perhaps there'd be an eternity carved out solely for the two of you.

War, Fall, Past

Jodi Picoult (2003). “Second Glance: A Novel”, p.328, Simon and Schuster

Past, Woven, Finals

Jodi Picoult (2009). “Handle with Care: A Novel”, p.80, Simon and Schuster

Past, Different, Turns

What makes you walk past thirty-thousand people without a second glance, and then you look at the thirty-thousandth-and-first person and know you'll never take your eyes off her again?

Eye, Past, People

Jodi Picoult (2003). “Second Glance”, p.32, Simon and Schuster

by now you've already formed your own impression. you believe that an act committed a lifetime ago defines a man, or you believe that a person's past has nothing to do with his future. you think i am either a hero, or a monster. maybe knowning more about circumstances will make you think differently about me, but it won't change what happened twenty-eight years ago.

Believe, Hero, Past

Jodi Picoult (2012). “The Jodi Picoult Collection #3: Vanishing Acts, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes”, p.73, Simon and Schuster
