Positive social change results mostly from connecting more deeply to the people around you than rising above them, from coordinated rather than solo action. Among the virtues that matter are those traditionally considered feminine rather than masculine, more nerd than jock: listening, respect, patience, negotiation, strategic planning, storytelling.

But July doesn't need a nerd or a poet. She needs a friend, and I suppose that unenviable job has fallen to me. ~ Shaun David Hutchinson

To improv-nerd-out for a second, it's like the most aggressive yes-anding you can do - if someone's like, "Yeah, you're super thin, right?" And you just pull that into a character and do seven more episodes of the podcast and remember to bring that up. ~ Jon Gabrus

But if they did it again, I absolutely would go, because I want to see it all again. ~ Jennifer Lawrence
