Quotations from the book

Vanishing Acts

Jodi Picoult

When you love someone more than he loves you, you'll do anything to switch the scales. You dress the way you think he'd like you to dress. You pick up his favorite figures of expression. You tell yourself that if you re-create yourself in his image, then he'll crave you in the same way you crave him.

—Jodi Picoult in Vanishing Acts

Who I am and what I am capable of doing has always managed to surprise me.

—Jodi Picoult in Vanishing Acts

Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.

—Jodi Picoult in Vanishing Acts
