The Third Kingdom (Richard and Kahlan, #2)

by Terry Goodkind

“Oftentimes it’s easier for lunatics to attract impassioned followers than it is for sensible people to get people to listen to reason. People are often more willing to believe lies than the truth. Lies can be made to sound pleasant. The truth, by its very nature, isn’t always so attractive.

I read fantasy so I don’t have to emotionally invest in characters. I enjoy staying in my imagination and revel in the story then I can put the book down and walk away. Even with TG’s story formula he found ways to worm wisdom into my reality. This nugget is a prime example.
