Quote by Jodi Picoult
As it turned out, hell wasn't watching the people you love get hurt; it was coming in during the second act, when it was already too late to stop it from happening.
Summary
This quote depicts the revelation that hell isn't merely witnessing your loved ones endure pain, but the torment of helplessness as you arrive too late to intervene and prevent their suffering. It suggests that the true anguish lies in the realization that you were unable to avert their pain, adding a profound layer to the understanding of what hell truly means.
