We Believe What We Want to Believe

«The question that begs to be answered at this point is: How is it that the world fell for this? How come it took 13 years for someone to yell, "The king has no clothes."

The answer to this troubling question is the same as the answer to so many other questions in life: We believe what we want to believe.»
