Unconditional love is an illogical notion, but such a great and powerful one.

Med students panic their first year when they learn all the diseases. It's not until the second year that they learn the cures.
A. J. Jacobs
I’m not a fan of ‘write what you know.’ If you don’t know, find out. I knew nothing about the Bible before I started writing ‘The Year of Living Biblically.’ That was kind of the point – to learn.
A. J. Jacobs
My immune system has always been overly welcoming of germs. It's far too polite, the biological equivalent of a southern hostess inviting y'all nice microbes to stay awhile and have some artichoke dip.
