Quote:

Fantasy novelist Terry Goodkind wrote, “They will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true or because they are afraid it might be true.” Sabah says this is an important quotation because there are people who believe lies because they are scared they might be true. “There are sometimes things that I believe because I want it to be true,” says Sabah, “or there are times I want them to be true, so I believe in them. For example, someone says that the test may be hard. It may not be true. It is only hard because you believe it to be so.”
