Jodi Picoult
There is a point when a structure fire is raging out of control that you simply have to give it the distance to burn itself out. So you move back to safety, to a hill out of the wind, and you watch the building eat itself alive.
Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

Jodi Picoult
When I was little I bragged about my firefighting father: my father would go to heaven, because if he went to hell he would put out all the fires
Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
