― Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller

“History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them.”

“There was no black or white. Someone who had been good her entire life could, in fact, do something evil. People were just as capable of committing murder, under the right circumstances, as any monster.”
