I have little shame, no dignity – all in the name of a better cause.

A. J. Jacobs
Its sort of my job to feel good.
A. J. Jacobs
In trying to avoid one sin I've committed another.
A. J. Jacobs
I thought religion would eventually wither away and we'd all be worshiping at the altar of science.
A. J. Jacobs
There's a beauty to forgiveness, especially forgiveness that goes beyond rationality. Unconditional love is an illogical notion, but such a great & powerful one

I always thought the name of Utah’s major newspaper was some sort of weird misspelling of the word “desert.” But no, Deseret is the “land of the honeybee,” according to the Book of Mormon. I guess I should have figured they would have caught a typo in the masthead after 154 years.

Paintings! They're like TV, but they don't move.

Scrabble - The game is available in Braille. That’s a nice fact. This makes me feel better about humanity for some reason. I can’t really explain why.
A. J. Jacobs
It comes back to the old question: How can the Bible be so wise in some places and so barbaric in others? And why should we put any faith in a book that includes such brutality?
