"Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, "Oh yeah that purse is okay" or like, "Yeah, I like that band's early stuff." Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, "You like stuff," which is just not a good insult at all, like, "You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness."
- John Green
