Geeks are a critical driver of America's innovation ecosystem, from the entrepreneurs launching startups in Silicon Valley to the scientists experimenting in university research labs to the whiz kids building gadgets in their parents' garages.

Geeks are finally having their day.
‐‐ Rashida Jones
Geeks are people who love something so much that all the details matter.
‐‐ Marissa Mayer
Geeks run the world. Condoleezza Rice is a geek, Bill Gates is clearly a geek, many of the big filmmakers and writers are geeks, lots of military people are geeks. Anyone who has heard Donald Rumsfeld talk about military hardware knows they are in the presence of a geek.

Geez, all that money we waste on space exploration; just think how many bombs that would buy!
‐‐ Craig Bruce
Geez, I just played cricket because I loved the game. I never thought about it much, never really had any formal coaching.
‐‐ Steve Waugh
Geez, I wish I could tell you I had a whole bunch of '80s hair bands, you know something you really wouldn't expect, but I don't know that the music police would be that surprised, because most of the stuff that I am influenced by is in evidence in the music.
‐‐ John Sebastian
Geffen was never supportive of the band.
‐‐ Edie Brickell
Geisha because when I was living in Japan, I met a fellow whose mother was a geisha, and I thought that was kind of fascinating and ended up reading about the subject just about the same time I was getting interested in writing fiction.

Gel doesn't work in my hair because it has a life of its own.

Gelatins are one of most unbelievable areas in cooking today.

Gelsey Kirkland has had more than her share of demons, as her two distressing memoirs - and her violently checkered career - attest.
‐‐ Robert Gottlieb
Gemma Arterton in 'The Master Builder' at the Almeida - she was absolutely brilliant. Ibsen is difficult and quite hard to follow, but she just brings the stage to life.
‐‐ Luke Evans
Gemmell's name guarantees a satisfying story and a thumping good read. I recommend all his heroic creations - 'Druss the axeman,' 'the Jerusalem man,' among others - but my favourite has to be 'Waylander': Clint Eastwood with a crossbow and the same 'Make my day, punk' attitude.

Gen. Banks has issued an order for the instruction of Negro children. Schoolhouses are to be built or rented and Teachers hired for this purpose, and the farmers and planters are to pay the Taxes in support of this.

Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Centcom, is probably the most decorated officer of his generation.
‐‐ David Ignatius
Gen. Tommy Franks told me the war was being compromised as specialized personnel and equipment were being shifted from Afghanistan to prepare for the war in Iraq - a war more than a year away.

Gen Y consume most of their media online and mobile. Gen Y, as the Baby Boomers drop off, are the largest cohort with the largest amount of money - despite the fact that half of them are unemployed.
‐‐ Shane Smith
Gen Y is depicted as self-centred and apathetic when it comes to politics, but it doesn't help that we are largely overlooked. There have been policies to woo parents, pensioners and the sick, but the young do not appear to rank high on any political agenda.
‐‐ Alexandra Adornetto
Gen Y is really quite distinct from Gen X; it's really self-involved and very narcissistic - their cameras are filled with pictures of themselves; Facebook, it's about me. It's a generation that's been pampered by their parents and their schools, given prizes for just taking part.

Gena Rowlands is my all-time love. Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer. I grew up watching their work; they are extraordinary.
‐‐ Dakota Johnson
Gender and race got very entwined in the 19th century, as abolition broke out, and then women wanted the right to speak about it.
‐‐ Sue Monk Kidd
Gender consciousness has become involved in almost every intellectual field: history, literature, science, anthropology. There's been an extraordinary advance.
‐‐ Clifford Geertz
Gender-dominated environments are not good... particularly in the financial sector where there are too few women. In gender-dominated environments, men have a tendency to... show how hairy chested they are, compared with the man who's sitting next to them. I honestly think that there should never be too much testosterone in one room.
‐‐ Christine Lagarde
Gender equality and women's empowerment have been a top priority for me from day one as Secretary-General. And I am committed to making sure that the U.N. leads by example.
‐‐ Ban Ki-moon
Gender equality cannot be achieved by cutting programs that allow girls to get the same chance to compete, learn, and play. The United States has had a solid history of commitment to its female athletes and expanding opportunity for women, and it is imperative that we continue on this path.
‐‐ Linda Sanchez
Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.
‐‐ Kofi Annan
Gender equality will only be reached if we are able to empower women.
‐‐ Michelle Bachelet
Gender fluidity is not really feeling like you're at one end of the spectrum or the other. For the most part, I definitely don't identify as any gender. I'm not a guy; I don't really feel like a woman, but obviously I was born one. So, I'm somewhere in the middle, which - in my perfect imagination - is like having the best of both sexes.
‐‐ Ruby Rose
Gender injustice is a social impairment and therefore has to be corrected in social attitudes and behaviour.
‐‐ Mohammad Hamid Ansari
Gender is a way to hide from the simple truth we all tell: 'Hey, I'm here, I have a body.'
‐‐ Susan Griffin
Gender is between your ears and not between your legs.
‐‐ Chaz Bono
Gender is probably the most restricting force in American life.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
Gender used to be a barrier for women to overcome if they wanted to be in politics, but today in Taiwan the situation is somewhat different. I think there is even a preference for a woman candidate, and in local elections, we have seen that younger, better-educated female candidates are overwhelmingly preferred by the voters.
‐‐ Tsai Ing-wen
Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.
‐‐ Ringo Starr
Gene Colan was like no other artist of his generation. His ability to create dramatic, multi-valued tonal illustrations using straight India ink and board was unparalleled.
‐‐ Jim Lee
Gene Hackman is one of the great American actors of all time.
‐‐ Lane Garrison
Gene Hackman was a superstar in the '70s - with that face!
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
Gene Krupa was my big hero, and I used to play on my mother's flour cans and sugar cans with the kitchen knives, listening to the big bands on my dad's records. Gene Krupa and Harry James.
‐‐ Dick Dale
Gene Roddenberry continually reminded us that the Star Trek Enterprise was a metaphor for starship Earth. And the strength in this starship came from its diversity, coming together and working in concert as a team. That is the strength of our countries, Canada and the United States. We are nations of diversity.
‐‐ George Takei
Gene Roddenberry's thing always was, we should not pass judgment on anything that anyone else believes in or what they do in their lives.
‐‐ Marina Sirtis
Gene Roddenberry was a genius.
‐‐ Persis Khambatta
Gene Roddenbury felt that television was being wasted. That it had the potential for enlightenment and even inspiration.
‐‐ George Takei
Gene sometimes... well, he has his dream list.
‐‐ Paul Stanley
Gene therapy technology is much like computing technology. We had to build the super computer which cost $8 million in 1960. Now everyone has technologies that work predictably and at a cost the average person can afford.
‐‐ Liz Parrish
Gene Wilder is so funny.
‐‐ Kate Bush
Genealogy is among the fastest-growing leisure pursuits in the U.K. Indeed, the urge to uncover the truth about our ancestors has proved so compelling that, when the 1901 census first went online, the website crashed after a million people logged on within hours of its launch.
‐‐ Rory Bremner
Genealogy, n. An account of one's descent from a man who did not particularly care to trace his own.
‐‐ Ambrose Bierce
General Atomics, the progenitor of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, started life in 1955 when a major military contractor, General Dynamics, feared that the military hardware market might dry up. It began exploring peacetime uses of atomic energy, but abandoned the effort when cold-war military spending took off.
‐‐ Charles Duhigg
General benevolence, but not general friendship, made a man what he ought to be.
