Jodi Picoult's The Tenth Circle: Hidden Message Revealed

Thanks to Mary in Texas, I have the hidden message that is concealed in Jodi Picoult's The Tenth Circle.

I checked it out with the java widget on Picoult's page, and the answer is:

Nothing is easier than self-deceit, for what each man wishes that he also believes to be true - Demosthenes.

As previously mentioned, my friend Richard Johnston is a minor character in this book. In case you're wondering, he was my friend before he turned fictional, I didn't befriend him in the Picoult pages.

It's intensely weird to me how famous/inamous (delete as preferable) Rich actually is. I thought famous/infamous people were supposed to be horrible.
