Jodi Picoult Somewhere Quotations

The nurses, I have already learned, are the ones who give us the answers we’re desperate for. Unlike the doctors, who fidget like they need to be somewhere else, the nurses patiently answer us as if we are the first set of parents to ever have this kind of meeting with them, instead of the thousandth.

After all, once you know that part of something exists, it stands to reason that the rest of it is somewhere out there, too.

I’d much rather pretend I’m somewhere else, and any time I open the pages of a book, that happens.
