Jodi Picoult Quotes

Why Hadn't He Realized This Before? Everyone Knew That If You Divided Reality
by Expectation, You Got A Happiness Quotient. But When You Inverted The Equation-expectation
divided By Reality-you Didn't Get The Opposite Of Happiness. What You Got, Lewis Realized, Was Hope.
Pure Logic: Assuming Reality Was Constant, Expectation Had To Be Greater Than Reality To Create
optimism. On The Other Hand, A Pessimist Was Someone With Expectations Lower Than Reality, A
fraction Of Diminishing Returns. The Human Condition Meant That This Number Approached Zero
without Reaching It-you Never Really Completely Gave Up Hope; It Might Come Flooding Back At Any
provocation.
