“Because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re 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

Great quote choice! John Green hits the nail on the head, unapologetic enthusiasm is one of the best parts of human nature. It’s always refreshing to see a reminder to lean into the things we love without reservation.
