“Being a geek is all about your own personal level of enthusiasm, not how your level of enthusiasm measures up to others. If you like something so much that a casual mention of it makes your whole being light up like a halogen lamp, if hearing a stranger fondly mention your favorite book or game is instant grounds for friendship, if you have ever found yourself bouncing out of your chair because something you learned blew your mind so hard that you physically could not contain yourself — you are a geek”

The Mary Sue defines what it means to be a geek — and I couldn’t have said it better myself.

“I don’t ask you to love me always like this,
but I ask you to remember.
somewhere inside me
there’ll always be the person
I am tonight.” F. Scott Fitzgerald  (via musingsinfemininity)

“We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.” -B. F. Skinner (via lickystickypickywe)

“The thing about human beings is that they are constantly inconstant. We all have nobility in us, we all have moments of weakness, we all say things we don’t mean, we do things we wish we hadn’t done. And then there are days when we are amazing, and we are the best version of ourselves.” Tom Hiddleston (via some-remain)

“Many adults are put off when youngsters pose scientific questions. Children ask why the sun is yellow, or what a dream is, or how deep you can dig a hole, or when is the world’s birthday, or why we have toes. Too many teachers and parents answer with irritation or ridicule, or quickly move on to something else. Why adults should pretend to omniscience before a five-year-old, I can’t for the life of me understand. What’s wrong with admitting that you don’t know? Children soon recognize that somehow this kind of question annoys many adults. A few more experiences like this, and another child has been lost to science. There are many better responses. If we have an idea of the answer, we could try to explain. If we don’t, we could go to the encyclopedia or the library. Or we might say to the child: “I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out.”

Carl Sagan

Absolutely. This.
