Baby Quote by Jodi Picoult
![“There's got to be a moment when that baby [flying] squirrel looks from the end of one branch to the tree six feet away and thinks twice about making a leap. Falling in love is no different; it's the moment that we close our eyes and throw away everything that seems reasonable and hope to God…” quote by Jodi Picoult](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e7b/jodi-picoult-45_baby_there-s-got-to-be-a-moment-when-that-bab_2783362.jpg)
“There's got to be a moment when that baby [flying] squirrel looks from the end of one branch to the tree six feet away and thinks twice about making a leap. Falling in love is no different; it's the moment that we close our eyes and throw away everything that seems reasonable and hope to God there's someone or something waiting to catch us on the other side.”
