An oldie but a goodie from the VlogBrothers on YouTube:

“Why is being a nerd bad? Saying ‘Hey, I noticed you’re a nerd’ is like saying, ‘Hey, I noticed that you’d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you’d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you’d rather believe there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsey Lohan. Why is that?'”

and…

“It’s not that I mind being insulted, it’s that I mind being insulted so poorly.”

Why can’t I be this nerd-cool? I want to be this nerd-cool.
