Jodi Picoult Quotes About Bones

Quotes about: Bones

• Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.

• 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 don't even realize what you look like, how far you've deteriorated, because you only have eyes for someone else.

I learn this over and over again.
