10 Nick Miller Quotes for Any Life Situation
It’s hard to choose a favorite character from within the ensemble of New Girl . Some days you might be a total Jess floating around in your own personal adorkable cloud, whereas Saturday nights bring out your wild and suave inner Schmidt. One thing is for certain however: There is a Nick Miller for every season. Don’t believe me? If you think he’s merely a goof that is afraid of conflict, you’re forgetting all of the sweet knowledge he’s dropped on the gang over the years. While Goofy Nick may be popular, there does lurk within him a deeper zen philosophical side that has a penchant for really good advice for your grayer days.
That’s why Nick Miller is secretly everyone’s spirit animal — he’s got this uncomplicated depth where, despite his silliness, you can tell he works at the top of his intelligence. There isn’t a situation out there that doesn’t have an appropriate Nick-ism to be applied. His advice is simple, direct, and doesn’t require too much explanation. You can see some of his law school dropout-self leak out in between spurts of thinking the ideal woman should have more purses with gems and that the ideal man is probably playing a saxophone in some alley (which you have to admit, sounds sort of hot in an '80s music video way).
