“You will ask me, after this, why I didn’t tell you this before. It is because I know how powerful a story can be. It can change the course of history. It can save a life. But it can also be a sinkhole, a quicksand in which you become stuck, unable to write yourself free.”
― Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller

“Sometimes all it takes to become human again is someone who can see you that way, no matter how you present on the surface.”
― Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller

“You can believe, for example, that a dead-end job is a career. You can blame your ugliness for keeping people at bay, when in reality you’re crippled by the thought of letting another person close enough to potentially scar you even more deeply. You can tell yourself that it’s safer to love someone who will never really love you back, because you can’t lose someone you never had.”
― Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller
