And though I'm still not sure what to make of this terrain, I can tell you that the intellectual uncertainty into which it has forced me is a lot more interesting - and a lot more honest - than some of the convictions that carried me along before.

I've never been more certain I had to."-Meghan Daum, The Problem with Everything: My Journey Through the New Culture Wars
