NERD MISFIT RESOURCES








"The weirder you are going to behave, the more normal you
should look. . .When I see a kid with three or four rings
in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing
extraordinary about that person."   - P.J. O'Rourke

Fighting Back







"He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is 
sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god."
 - Aristotle








Defend yourself








"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is 
escape
from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from
the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires.  A finely tempered nature
longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective
perception and thought."  -Einstein







If I had one wish for our nation,

I would wish for a turn about of what we value in a person.

We value athletic prowess, and not intelligence.

We value physical attractiveness, and not beauty of the soul.

We value cunning and wealth, and not honesty and integrity.

These lessons should be taught to our youth.

Instead our schools demand athletic competition of every student,

and denigrate the scholar.

Failing to reward excellence rewards failure. -
 Dr. L. Breur Krause










It's nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of
instruction have not yet entirely strangled youthful curiosity, for
this delicate plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need
of freedom. - Albert Einstein

Some Articles










   
ANORAK: european term, a person so geeky and obsessive that 
they're still wearing a coat bought in 1975 (olive drab coat with fur-rimmed hood.)














...the chief sign that a man has any nobility in his character is the 
little pleasure he takes in others' company. - Schopenhauer






The medium brilliant are overawed by their own brilliance.  The truely 
brilliant understand that brilliance means nothing.  - F. Kraemer




...and those who maintain an affectation of brilliance must also adopt the 
affectation of believing that brilliance means nothing.  If they then 
point out this 
their affectation, does it then mean they are truely brilliant, or are 
they simply making an affectation out of having affectations?






"Men of genius are often dull and inert in society; as the blazing meteor,
when it descends to earth, is only a stone."  - Longfellow 







"There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with 
freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a 
poison that makes you beat your head against the wall."
  - Colette








Your 'failings' can become your most powerful weapons.  See the world as
an outsider, and you can learn to do the impossible.  The former nerd
makes the best wildman.
