“When she wanted to escape her life, she read books”
― Jodi Picoult, Between the Lines

“But there is a different between mending someone who's broken and finding someone who makes you complete.”
― Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home

“She puts her hands on either side of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before.
And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats and my hands cannot bring her close enough to me. I taste her and realize I have been starving.
I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this.
I have kissed before, but it didn't burn me alive.
Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.”
― Jodi Picoult

“But then again, maybe bad things happen because it’s the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like.”
― Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes
