Nerd. geek. used to be if you self-identified that way, you'd get thrown into a locker and never have sex. or worse, whatever that is. but to me and more and more people i know, being a nerd or a geek means having passion, power, intelligence. being a nerd just means there is something in the world that you care deeply about—be it twelve-sided dice, a favorite sports team, your new laptop or night rider.

The word 'geek' today does not mean what it used to mean. a geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. there can be computer geeks, video game geeks, car geeks, military geeks, and sports geeks. being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.

You cannot lead without passion. passion causes things to move, and passion creates a force multiplier. passion actually covers a multitude of sins. real entreleaders care deeply, and that is basically what passion is. passion is not yelling or being wild; it is simply caring deeply.

If your house is on fire and you can only escape with your life and one thing, what one thing would you take out of your house? i got to think my laptop is the one thing that is totally irreplaceable. either that or my son. laptop. i'll go laptop.

I can't imagine where i'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, i'm a little absent from that discussion, because i've never thought of gender as an issue. in sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. you all work together to reach a goal, and i think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.

And if [vladimir putin] does fight isil alone, how does it work out for russia to have sided with assad, sided with iran, sided with hizballah, when they're trying to reach out to the rest of the sunni world in the region? that's not a good equation for russia.

Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity. when the illustrious buddha taught about the world, he had to divide it into samsara and nirvana, illusion and truth, into suffering and salvation. one cannot do otherwise, there is no other method for those who teach. but the world itself, being in and around us, is never one-sided. never is a man or a deed wholly samsara or wholly nirvana; never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner. this only seems so because we suffer the illusion that time is something real.

Similar Quotes

I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.

Contemplation in the age of auschwitz and dachau, solovky and karaganda is something darker and more fearsome than contemplation in the age of the church fathers. for that very reason, the urge to seek a path of spiritual light can be a subtle temptation to sin. it certainly is sin if it means a frank rejection of the burden of our age, an escape into unreality and spiritual illusion, so as not to share the misery of other men.

We imagined ourselves as the sons of liberty with a mission to preserve, protect, and project the revolutionary spirit of rock and roll. we feared that the music which had given us sustenance was in danger of spiritual starvation. we feared it losing its sense of purpose, we feared it falling into fattened hands, we feared it floundering in a mire of spectacle, finance, and vapid technical complexity.

We are always peace. to get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.
