When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it... - Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care

"What we all want, really, is to be loved. That craving drives our worst behavior."

"But love wasn't about sacrifice, and it wasn't about falling short of someone's expectations. By definition, love made you better than good enough; it redefined perfection to include your traits, instead of excluding them. All any of us wanted, really, was to know that we counted. That someone else's life would not have been as rich without us here."

"A sacrament--like marriage--means living a life better than your natural instincts, so that you're modeling God. And God never gives up."

"All any of us wanted, really, was to know that we counted. That someone else's life would not have been as rich without us here."

"People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that's not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more."
