And what could be a hotter ticket than the improbable triumph of ‘The Book of Mormon,’ the musical-comedy moon shot of the season?

Every presidential candidate highlights patriotism, but Mr. Romney’s is backed by the Mormon belief that the United States was chosen by God to play a special role in history, its Constitution divinely inspired. Jodi Kantor
A whole lot of Americans have never met a Mormon. Rodney Stark
Sometimes I feel like ‘Avenue Q’ or even ‘Book of Mormon’ might not have happened without ‘Urinetown.’ ‘Urinetown’ sort of paved the way, just in terms of what Broadway would accept in its houses. It just blows my mind, the stuff ‘Book of Mormon’ gets away with. It’s way farther across the line than ‘Urinetown’ ever was. Spencer Kayden
When a Mormon knocks, they say, ‘Can I teach you about Jesus Christ?’ And if you say no, they’ll say, ‘Then how can I be of service to you?’ So anybody who was smart would be like, ‘You can take out my trash and mow my lawn.’ Dan Reynolds

We were now, as I before mentioned, upon this St. Joseph’s trail. It was evident, by the traces, that large parties were a few days in advance of us; and as we too supposed them to be Mormons, we had some apprehension of interruption. Francis Parkman
I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book. Joseph Smith, Jr.
Mormons are an extraordinarily educated and professional population. They have all these virtues: They work hard, don’t skip school, have no scandals. Consequently, you find them in a lot of consequential places. Rodney Stark
I would only read the novels that people classify as ‘beach books’ if I were being held prisoner and the only alternative was the ‘Book of Mormon.’ Tom Robbins
The Book of Mormon is our handbook of instructions as we travel the pathway from bad to good to better and strive to have our hearts changed. David A. Bednar
I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth. Clayton M. Christensen
I still follow the lifestyle of the Mormon church. I try to go to church every Sunday even when I’m on tour. It’s not only my upbringing, but it helps me stay sane. It helps me remember my purpose and the overall picture of what is important to me and what makes me happy. Lindsey Stirling
Some spiritually alert parents hold early-morning devotionals with their families in their homes. They have a hymn, prayer, and then read and discuss the Book of Mormon. Ezra Taft Benson
Well, my father’s people were Mormon, and had immigrated not long after Brigham Young had settled Utah. Lynne Cheney
Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith. And because the Democratic Party was taken over by the aggressive secular guys, they became hostile not just to conservative Catholics and evangelical Christians, but Orthodox Jews and Muslims and Mormons. Grover Norquist
My mom grew up in Idaho, went to Brigham Young University: they’re very Molly Mormon. And my father is, like, first generation Albanian, and his parents lived in Southey and grew up in downtown Boston. My parents are complete opposites. Eliza Dushku
So many times in the history of Mormon polygamy, the outside world thought it had the movement on the ropes only to see it flourish anew. Scott Anderson

I still love the theology of the Mormon religion and think it is a wonderful way to grow up. Katherine Heigl
That was a misconception among a lot of people – that Mormons are polygamist. No, they’re not. I mean they obviously have that in their history, and there are some fundamentalists. Trey Parker
That’s the dirty little secret of Mormon growth. Lots of baptisms don’t necessarily translate into long-term membership. David Campbell
In our home we grew up thinking we were Mormons first and human beings second. Sonia Johnson
As a member of the Mormon church, Romney is instructed to tithe 10 percent of his income. That’s in keeping with most charitable giving: Religious institutions get about one-third of all contributions, according to ‘The American’ magazine. John Podhoretz
The Book of Mormon is in absolute harmony from start to finish with other sacred scriptures. There is not a doctrine taught in it that does not harmonize with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Heber J. Grant

I grew up Mormon. I wasn’t really Mormon, my parents were. Ryan Gosling
I was just born involved in politics. My family is conservative Mormon, and so I was born – although the Mormon faith is not inherently political, their faith requires some political stands, and those are ones that I happen to disagree with vehemently – so I was just political from a very early age. Kyrsten Sinema
Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don’t know that I’m an example. I hate to say, ‘Yes, look at me. I’m a good example of being Mormon.’ I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I’m a good example. Stephenie Meyer
The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, and we learn about Him in its pages. We know that it has great power. It has the power to change lives. It has the power to convert. If you read it with an open heart, you will know that it is the word of God and that it is true. Henry B. Eyring
The Book of Mormon exposes the enemies of Christ. It confounds false doctrines and lays down contention. Ezra Taft Benson
In one thousand years of Russia’s existence, its first popular national election ever to be held occurred in June 1991. Six days later, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed in Moscow! Russell M. Nelson
The Mormons’ passage from bugbears of the Republican Party to its stalwarts may be analogized to a similar move among middle-class white Southerners, to whom the Republican Party was anathema until the 1970s and ’80s, after which it became almost the sole representative. Noah Feldman
I find Mormons adorable. Trey Parker
Mormons know that it’s not enough to practise your religion – you also have to spread your religion. Jonah Peretti

My first serious girlfriend, when I was 16, was Mormon. I went to her house for ‘family home evening,’ and I was like, ‘Why aren’t you people ignoring each other and watching television?’ Trey Parker
The principle of plural marriage was revealed to the Mormons amid much secrecy. Dark clouds hovered over the church in the early 1840s, after rumors spread that its founder, Joseph Smith, had taken up the practice of polygamy. While denying the charge in public, by 1843 Smith had shared a revelation with his closest disciples. Scott Anderson
Mormons aren’t gonna buy my album but, you know, what are you gonna do? Christina Aguilera
In keeping with original Mormon teachings, much of the property in Hildale and Colorado City is held in trust for the church.

The Book of Mormon Is the Word of God. Ezra Taft Benson
I love cranberry juice, but I’m not a coffee drinker – as a Mormon, I avoid caffeine. Donny Osmond

Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none. Joseph Smith, Jr.
At Harvard, I grew up a lot in terms of being able to deal with different types of people because where I grew up in Arizona, it’s predominately white and predominantly Mormon families, so there’s not a whole lot of diversity. Ryan Fitzpatrick
I’m as much influenced by Joseph Smith and the Mormons as I am, more so, than by Eliot. Actually, I’m much more influenced by the poetry of the Mormons. Marguerite Young

I’m trying to write a TV show. Ideally it would be just a reality-TV show, getting the guy who played Eddie Winslow and Kirk Cameron to live in a house. The Jehovah’s Witnesses would come to the house a lot or something like that. I kind of like the idea of Scientologists and Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses trying to convert Kirk Cameron. Patrick Carney
Reading the Book of Mormon is one of the greatest persuaders to get men on missions. Ezra Taft Benson
I’m a very spiritual person, and proud of my Mormon roots. Jon Huntsman, Jr.
Like many great world faiths, Mormonism has an important strand of sacred mystery. Mormon temples have traditionally been closed to outsiders and designed with opaque windows. Noah Feldman
The Book of Mormon offers so much that broadens our understandings of the doctrines of salvation. Without it, much of what is taught in other scriptures would not be nearly so plain and precious. Ezra Taft Benson
Many a man in his hour of trial has turned to the Book of Mormon and been enlightened, enlivened, and comforted. The psalms in the Old Testament have a special food for the soul of one in distress. Ezra Taft Benson
Perhaps we should worry less about judging people for being Mormon or Baptist or Muslim or gay or straight or black or white or Latino or by their religious or political brands and worry more about electing thoughtful, serious and ethical politicians on both sides of the political isle who are willing to work together for progress. Charity Sunshine Tillemann-Dick
I’ve never met a Mormon I didn’t like. They’re really nice people. They’re so Disney. They’re so Rodgers and Hammerstein. Trey Parker
Thing is, I went to a born-again Christian high school, was brought up in a traditional Mormon family where these ideas about parenting are of structure and sacrifice. To think outside of that idea of family and parenting that I’ve grown up with is tough but also very freeing. Paul Walker
What’s unique about the Mormon Church is that it encourages inquiry. I really do think my research and religion are all on the same page. I never could have come up with the notion of disruptive innovations, which went against a lot of conventional wisdom, if I hadn’t been raised to always be asking questions. Clayton M. Christensen
For the most part, the first thing people I meet that aren’t Mormon say is, ‘I grew up with a Mormon family. They’re the nicest people I know.’ So when I see these statistics that it’s the most hated religion, I don’t know where they’re getting that from. Brandon Flowers
Coming off of ‘Book of Mormon,’ I had a lot of opportunities. I didn’t want to do TV, actually. I really wanted to get paid nothing and keep doing theater at all costs. Josh Gad
The Book of Mormon is the ‘keystone’ of our religion, and the Doctrine and Covenants is the ‘capstone,’ with continuing latter day revelation. The Lord has placed His stamp of approval on both the keystone and the capstone. Ezra Taft Benson
I don’t know whether we Church members fully appreciate the Book of Mormon, one of our sacred scriptures, as we really should. Joseph B. Wirthlin
A Mormon knows that the promises of God are true, and He said that all will be tried; realizing these things the Latter-day Saints will acknowledge their Maker not only in blessings but also in tribulations. Heber J. Grant
On the surface, ‘Book of Mormon’ is extremely irreverent, but underneath, there’s a great sweetness and a very positive message. Stephen Schwartz
My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know. Katherine Heigl
I believe in the institution of marriage. Of course being a Mormon, we believe in eternity rather than just till death do us part. If you really try hard, if you make it work, it’s blissful. But I also know a marriage that isn’t working can be painful. Donny Osmond
The Book of Mormon is concrete and solid, they can hold it, and they can visualize that they have to pray to decide if this physical thing is true. There is no room for interpretation. Richard G. Scott
As I have studied the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have come to know through the power of the Spirit of God, that these books contain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Clayton M. Christensen
It is useful to compare the Branch Davidians with the Mormons of the mid-nineteenth century. The Mormons were vilified in those years in large part because Joseph Smith believed in polygamy. Malcolm Gladwell
From the Book of Mormon, we learn how disciples of Christ live in times of war. Ezra Taft Benson
A white male Mormon millionaire was not gonna beat Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, but someone deserved to go out there and give him a real run for his money. Mitt Romney

I believe in my Mormon faith, and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers – I will be true to them and to my beliefs. Mitt Romney
There’s no way you can misunderstand the teachings of the Qur’an, there’s no way you can misunderstand the teachings of the Bible, there’s no way you can misunderstand the teachings of the Bhaghavad Gita, or of the Book of Mormon, or of the other sacred texts of many of those religions. Neale Donald Walsch
The Book of Mormon, the record of Joseph, verifies and clarifies the Bible. It removes stumbling blocks; it restores many plain and precious things. Ezra Taft Benson
I’ve seen everything from ‘Wicked’ to ‘The Book Of Mormon,’ and I don’t make any bones of the fact that I love both. But ‘Les Mis’ is not only my favorite musical, but it’s also my favorite story. I love the book, which I read as a kid, and I identified so much with Jean Valjean. Corey Taylor
When the ‘Book of Mormon’ was first published, some of those who believed in it taught it to others and testified of it. Gordon B. Hinckley
I grew up as a Mormon, and that had more of an impact on my values than my beliefs. I’m afraid I will always feel the weight of a lie. I’m very hard on myself anyway. Religious guilt carries over too. You can’t really misbehave without feeling badly about it. At least, I can’t. Amy Adams
I had to be clean-shaven all the time to play a Mormon missionary, so after I was done, I grew a mustache out of rebellion. It was actually very polarizing. I became attractive to a completely new group of people and also repulsive to a new group of people. The lesson: mustaches are divisive. Andrew Rannells
Colorado’s right next to Utah – you know, Mormon Central. Trey Parker
I still feel Mormon. Those men in Salt Lake City can’t decide who’s Mormon and who isn’t. Sonia Johnson
Inviting children as gospel learners to act and not merely be acted upon builds on reading and talking about the Book of Mormon and bearing testimony spontaneously in the home. David A. Bednar
How do you top ‘Mormon?’ I get sent scripts all the time and I don’t know what I would do next. What do you do after that? So I think if you do see me onstage, you’ll see me in something dramatic, maybe, or you’ll see me try my hand at something else. Perhaps fail, terribly, but try. Josh Gad
I’d been raised Mormon, but there comes a time where you are not following what you’ve been taught, but discovering for yourself if it’s true. Clayton M. Christensen
