"It just goes to show you: every baby is born beautiful. It's what we project on them that makes them ugly"

"You say you don't see color...but that's all you see. You're so hyperaware of it, and of trying to look like you aren't prejudiced, you can't even understand that when you say race doesn't matter, all I hear is you dismissing what I've felt, what I've lived, what it's like to be put down because of the color of my skin"

I loved the book. Racism is a very hard subject to tackle and Picoult does a good job writing about it. Turk, the white supremacist, was the most interesting character to me and terrifying at the same time. The book gave me a lot to think about especially with the current political climate in America.
