Jodi Picoult nejznámější citáty

„K tomu, aby lež fungovala, jsou potřeba dva lidé: ten, kdo ji říká, a ten, kdo jí věří.“

Jodi Picoult

„Nejvýše postavený vlk ve smečce není ten, kdo používá brutální sílu. Je to ten, kdo by ji mohl použít, ale rozhodne se to neudělat.“

Jodi Picoult

„Nevím, co ti ten člověk udělal. Vlastně si nejsem jistá, jestli to vědět chci. Ale odpuštění neděláš kvůli někomu jinému. Je to něco, co děláš kvůli sobě. Říká se, že žádný člověk není tak důležitý, aby měl nad námi moc. Říká se ale také, že není dobré se nechat uvěznit v minulosti, protože každý si zaslouží budoucnost.“

Jodi Picoult

„Nevěřím v boha.
Věřím v lidi, v jejich sílu a pomoc, kterou jsou schopni poskytnout jeden druhému, v lidi, kteří touží spolupracovat, ne se hašteřit. Věřím, že výjimečné věci vždycky překryjí ty obyčejné.
Věřím, že pokud má člověk v co doufat - i kdyby to byl jen lepší zítřek -, je to ta nejsilnější droga na této planetě.“

Jodi Picoult

„Historie nejsou jen data, místa a války. Jsou to především lidé, kteří zaplňují volný prostor mezi nimi.“

Jodi Picoult

Vypravěčka

„Existuje mnoho způsobů, jak někoho zradit.
Člověk ho může za jeho zády pomlouvat.
Může ho záměrně podvést.
Může ho vydat do rukou nepříteli, když mu dotyčný věří.
Může porušit slib.
Otázkou je, jestli když tohle všechno udělá, nezradí i sám sebe?“

Jodi Picoult citáty a výroky

„Když člověku vezmou svobodu, asi ji potom vnímá spíš jako poctu, ne jako nárok.“

Jodi Picoult

Vypravěčka

„Občas slova nejsou dost velká, aby dokázala obsáhnout všechny pocity, které se do ně člověk snaží vložit.“

Jodi Picoult

„Každý si ale čas od času myslíme, že náš žal je větší než smutek těch ostatních.“

Jodi Picoult

Vypravěčka

„Mít moc neznamená dělat hrozné věci těm, kdo jsou slabší než ty. Znamená to mít sílu něco takového udělat, ale rozhodnout se, že ne.“

Jodi Picoult

„V nebi i v pekle sedí lidé u stolu plných lahodných jídel, ale nikdo nedokáže ohnout ruce v lokti. Takže všichni v pekle hladoví, protože se nemohou najíst. V nebi jsou ale všichni syti, protože na to, aby se nakrmili navzájem, ruce ohýbat nepotřebují.“

Jodi Picoult

Vypravěčka

„Aby se člověk stal znovu lidskou bytostí, stačí někdo, kdo vás tak vnímá bez ohledu na to, jak vypadáte.“

Jodi Picoult: Citáty anglicky

“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.”

“Sometimes, when you don't ask questions, it's not because you are afraid that someone will lie to your face. It's because you're afraid they'll tell you the truth.”

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.”

“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.”
