Word Powerful Quote by Jodie Picoult
““As he grew older, he learned that a word was a powerful thing. An insult didn’t have to be shouted at you to make you bleed; a vow didn’t have to be whispered to you yo make you believe. Hold a thought in your head, and that was enough to change the actions of anyone and anything that crossed your path.””
