Mad Honey Quotes
- Beekeeping is both a burden and a privilege. You don’t bother the bees unless they need your help, and you help them when they need it. It’s a feudal relationship: protection in return for a percentage of the fruits of their labors. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- There are some trajectories you cannot change, no matter what you do. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- Nobody is a do-over of anybody else, and if you get to do anything at all on earth it’s live your own life, not be some sort of ghost version of somebody else’s. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- We are so lucky to have our children, even for a little while, but we take them for granted. We make the stupid assumption that as long as we are here, they will be, too, though that’s never been part of the contract. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- Honey has always been a symbol that purity and sensuality can coexist. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- I think there is a reason they call it falling in love. It’s the moment, at the top of the roller coaster, when your heart hangs in your throat. It’s the time between when you jump from the cliff and when you hit the ocean. It’s the realization that there’s no ground beneath your feet when you miss a step on the ladder, when the branch of the tree breaks, when you roll over and run out of mattress. Here’s what they do not tell you about falling in love: there’s not always a soft landing beneath you. It’s called falling, because it’s bound to break you. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- Sometimes I think, if you’re not really sad in this world, you’re just not paying attention. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- People always talk about how their love for you is unconditional. Then you reveal your most private self to them, and you find out how many conditions there are in unconditional love. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- I’m tired of being forced to see how great the universe is, actually. It’s never done me any favors. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- You wouldn’t believe the situations people can get themselves in by not looking ahead. By not being prepared. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- People never see who you are, all they can see is who you were. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- There is a vast canyon between who we want people to be, and who they truly are. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- There are some secrets that I think we are willing to take to the grave for the people we love. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- I think sometimes about all the strange and wonderful things the world contains – the blue potato, the Venus flytrap, the duck-billed platypus. If there is room under heaven for all of these miraculous things, couldn’t there possibly be room for me? – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
- Not every bad thing that happens is a crime. Not every crime can be prosecuted. Not every prosecution results in a conviction. Not every conviction results in jail time or whatever the victim’s family may want. Some bad things that happen are just accidents. – Quote from Mad Honey book by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
