“You can't dissect love, you can't explain it, because once you do you prevent yourself from being able to experience it. You pull yourself out of the enjoyment of it, the excitement of it, the meaning, no...the importance of it.”
― Eric Luper, Seth Baumgartner's Love Manifesto

“Dimitri: I'm not a geek; I'm more like a nerd
Seth: What's the difference?
Dimitri: You have so much to learn. A nerd is someone who's really into learning and studying. You know, like a bookworm. A geek is someone who is really into one particular thing - Star Trek, computers, Dr. Who, poker, whatever. Then there are dorks.
Seth: What's a dork?
Dimitri: A dork is the worst of the three. It's someone who has trouble socially. Some people are dorks but not geeks or nerds. Most nerds are dorks to some degree but not necessarily geeks. They all seem to travel hand in hand, though.”

“You can break love down into smaller and smaller parts, talk about hormones and mating rituals and biological responses. You can poke fun at all the stupid things people do for love. Little piece by little piece, it all looks ridiculous. Like golf is just hitting a white ball around a field. That is, until you allow yourself to stand back and enjoy the game for what it is.

You can't dissect love, you can't explain it, because once you do you prevent yourself form being able to experience it. You pull yourself out of the enjoyment of it, the excitement of it, the meaning, no...the importance of it.
And that's what it's all about, isn't it?
Love is important." -Seth”

“I want everything to be black-and-white, no gray. The trouble with gray is that there are so many shades of it that it becomes impossible to draw a line. Black-and-white is simple. I want the world to have defined colors like Roy G. Biv, but there are infinite colors between red and orange, between orange and yellow. There are colors between those colors too. And colors that come before red and after violet that we can't even see" -Seth”

“All I can say is, what good are 156 reasons if all of them put together don't add up to both people being happy? It's easy to become addicted to someone, it's easy to get those chemicals dumping into your brain, but the hard part is getting them to dump for the right reasons" -Seth”
