" I don't believe in God. But sitting there, in a room full of those who feel otherwise, I realize that I do believe in people. In their strength to help each other, and to thrive in spite of the odds. I believe that the extraordinary trumps the ordinary, any day. I believe that having something to hope for-even if it's just a better tomorrow-is the most powerful drug on this planet. "

― Jodi Picoult , The Storyteller
