Jodi Picoult
“You can fool yourself, you know. You'd think it's impossible, but it turns out it's the easiest thing of all.”
Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts

Mark  Lawrence
“We all practice self-deception to a degree; no man can handle complete honesty without being cut at each turn. There's not enough room in a man's head for sanity alongside each grief, each worry, each terror that he owns. I’m well used to burying such things in a dark cellar and moving on.”
Mark Lawrence, Prince of Fools
