" We can lie to ourselves, saying we believe one thing, and sometimes we convince others it’s true, with the hope that by convincing others, we can convince ourselves. Wars are often waged not because of what we believe, but because of the things we want others to believe. "

― Neal Shusterman , The Skinjacker Trilogy: Everlost / Everwild / Everfound (Skinjacker, #1-3)
