There was a full glade growing up there, oak, birch, maple, and elm, like someone had carved out a few acres of the park and fixed it there upside down.”
    ― Edward Williams

    Susan Cain
    “الأنطوائيون , في المقابل , ربما لديهم مهارات أجتماعية قوية ويتمتعون باللقاء في الحفلات والاعمال , لكن بعد حين يرغبون لو كانوا في قمصان النوم في بيوتهم . أنهم يفضلون تكريس طاقتهم الاجتماعية لأصدقائهم المقربين والزملاء والعائلة , أنهم ينصتون أكثر مما يتكلمون , ويفكرون قبل أن يتكلمون , و يشعرون غالباً أنهم أفضل في التعبير عن أنفسهم في الكتابة أكثر من المحادثة , وهم يكرهون الصراع , وكثير منهم يرعبهم الحوار القصير ولكن يتمتعون بالنقاشات العميقة”
    ― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
