More From Jodi Picoult

Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.
Morning Thinking Fire
One of the first things i think young people, especially nowadays, should learn is how to see for yourself and listen for yourself and think for yourself. then you can come to an intelligent decision for yourself. if you form the habit of going by what you hear others say about someone, or going by what others think about someone, instead of searching that thing out for yourself and seeing for yourself, you will be walking west when you think you're going east, and you will be walking east when you think you're going west.

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
Once upon a time there were two sisters. one of them was really, really strong, and one of them wasn't.' you looked at me. 'your turn.' i rolled my eyes. 'the strong sister went outside into the rain and realized the reason she was strong was because she was made out of iron, but it was raining and she rusted. the end.' no, because the sister who wasn't strong went outside into the rain when it was raining, and hugged her really tight until the sun came out again.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
The girls i dream of are the gentle ones, wistful by high windows or singing sweet old songs at a piano, long hair drifting, tender as apple blossom. but a girl who goes into battle beside you and keeps your back is a different thing, a thing to make you shiver. think of the first time you slept with someone, or the first time you fell in love: that blinding explosion that left you cracking to the fingertips with electricity, initiated and transformed. i tell you that was nothing, nothing at all, beside the power of putting your lives, simply and daily, into each other's hands.

I started riding the whole 'fluffy' train, and it's a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. if you call a girl 'fat,' yo, she'll raise hell, but if you say, 'aw girl, look at you, you're fluffy,' there's almost a sexy appeal to it.
