House Rules - Jodi Picoult


  1. To Tim, Kyle, Jake, and Sammy. If you four were all I had to call my own, I'd be the richest woman on the planet.
  2. My mom. We don't get to pick our parents, but if we did, I still would have chosen her.
  3. 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.
  4. "Here's what I miss, Jacob. I miss the fact that I won't get to ever hear his voice again. And that I can't talk to him anymore"

    This wasn't really true. We had Grandpa's voice immortalized on old family videos that sometimes I liked to watch when I couldn't sleep at night. And it wasn't that she couldn't talk to him that was hard for her to accept; it was that he could no longer talk back.
  5. Madness is defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result.
