“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”

“I never wish to offend, but I am so foolishly shy, that I often seem negligent, when I am only kept back by my natural awkwardness.

“Des milliers et des milliers d'années
Ne sauraient suffire

Au parc Montsouris à Paris

Sur la terre
La terre qui est un astre.”

“Introverts may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family.
