    "If a white person is a self-proclaimed 'nerd,' [e.g. 'millinerd'] all jokes around the topic are essentially their opportunity to say that they are smarter than you." - Stuff White People Like

    "Nerd culture is mainstream now, so when you use it derogatorily, you’re the one that’s out of the Zeitgeist." -Ben Wyatt (in Parks & Rec)

    "The anatomy of a blog makes serious conversation all but impossible."
    -Alan Jacobs

    "Blogs are the crack cocaine of writing." -Richard Starr

    "Fame is a fickle food
    Upon a shifting plate."
    -Emily Dickinson

    "The breezy style is often the work of an egocentric, the person who imagines that everything that comes to mind is of general interest and that uninhibited prose creates high spirits and carries the day."
    -Strunk & White (p. 73)
