Citações Jodi Picoult

„Entre uma boa acção e uma má acção existem mil tons de cinzento.“

— Jodi Picoult
Perfect Match

„Em dezanove minutos podemos cortar a relva do jardim, pintar o cabelo, assistir a um terço de um jogo de hóquei. Em dezanove minutos podemos fazer scones ou arranjar um dente no dentista; podemos dobrar a roupa de uma família de cinco pessoas... Em dezanove minutos podemos parar o mundo, ou podemos simplesmente saltar para fora dele. Em dezanove minutos podemos vingar-nos.“

— Jodi Picoult

„Quem diria que as palavras que nunca chegamos a dizer assentassem tão pesadamente?“

— Jodi Picoult
The Tenth Circle

„Eis a minha opinião: não me parece que as religiões se baseiem em mentiras, mas também não me parece que se baseiem em verdades. Acho que surgem devido ao que as pessoas precisam na altura.“

— Jodi Picoult
Change of Heart

„Sempre dizem que quando você ama alguém, nada mais no mundo importa. Mas não é verdade, não é? Você sabe e eu sei, que quando você ama alguém, tudo no mundo importa um pouco mais.“

— Jodi Picoult

De verdade, de mundo

„Aprendi com a minha própria filha que não precisamos estar acordados para chorar.“

— Jodi Picoult
My Sister's Keeper

„Há um preço para tudo. Podemos ter uma bebé linda, mas ficamos a saber que tem uma incapacidade. Movemos céus e terra para fazer essa criança mais feliz, mas deixamos o nosso marido e a nossa filha tristes. Não há nenhuma balança cósmica onde possamos pesar os nossos actos; aprendemos demasiado tarde quais as escolhas que estragam o equilíbrio frágil.“

— Jodi Picoult

„I think you can love a person too much.

You put someone up on a pedestal, and all of a sudden, from that perspective, you notice what's wrong - a hair out of place, a run in a stocking, a broken bone. You spend all your time and energy making it right, and all the while, you are falling apart yourself. You don't even realize what you look like, how far you've deteriorated, because you only have eyes for someone else.“

— Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care

„When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.“

— Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care

„If I had to tell you how humans made their way to Earth, it would go like this: In the beginning, there was nothing at all but the moon and the sun. And the moon wanted to come out during the day, but there was something so much brighter that seemed to fill up all those hours. The moon grew hungry, thinner and thinner, until she was just a slice of herself, and her tips were as sharp as a knife. By accident, because that is the way most things happen, she poked a hole in the night and out spilled a million stars, like a fountain of tears.

Horrified, the moon tried to swallow them up. And sometimes this worked, because she got fatter and rounder.. But mostly it didn't, because there were just so many. The stars kept coming, until they made the sky so bright that the sun got jealous. He invited the stars to his side of the world, where it was always bright. What he didn't tell them, though, was that in the daytime, they'd never be seen. So the stupid ones leaped from the sky to the ground, and they froze under the weight of their own foolishness.

The moon did her best. She carved each of these blocks of sorrow into a man or a woman. She spent the rest of her time watching out so that her other stars wouldn't fall. She spent the rest of her time holding onto whatever scraps she had left.“

— Jodi Picoult

„I, um, I have this problem. I broke up with my boyfriend, you see. And I'm pretty upset about it, so I wanted to talk to my best friend. [... ] The thing is, they're both you.“

— Jodi Picoult, The Pact

„I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same.“

— Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

„You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride.“

— Jodi Picoult, Mercy
Mercy (1996)

„You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not.“

— Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
My Sister's Keeper (2004)

„Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.“

— Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

„Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.“

— Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
My Sister's Keeper (2004)
