Quote by Jodi Picoult
by now you've already formed your own impression. you believe that an act committed a lifetime ago defines a man, or you believe that a person's past has nothing to do with his future. you think i am either a hero, or a monster. maybe knowning more about circumstances will make you think differently about me, but it won't change what happened twenty-eight years ago.
Summary
This quote highlights the preconceived notions we often hold about people based on their past actions. It suggests that individuals either believe that a person's past deeds completely define their character or that a person's history is irrelevant in determining their future. The quote acknowledges that additional context and understanding might alter one's perception of a person, but it cannot change the events or choices from the past that occurred many years ago.
