Quotes from Mercy –  Jodi Picoult

“Did you ever feel that everything was so right in your life you’d have nowhere to go but downhill?”

“You simply could not define freedom to someone who did not realize they were caged.”

You know it’s never 50/50 in a relationship. It’s always 70/30 or 60/40. Someone loves more. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else just sails along for the ride.”

“Hell is when you know you were damned when you woke up in the morning and realized you were still alive. You know you were damned when you went to sleep at night and you kept seeing the love of your life at arms reach, but every time you were to touch, they vanished.
