“I’m not so sure that live is always better. It is part of the extrovert assumption to value interaction over inner action. Most introverts savor live time with a close friend, because they know there will be plenty of inner action for both of them. But much of what we call “social” in America allows for very little inner action. Emailing a friend or posting a blog entry will probably feel much richer, and help us feel much closer, than being up close and impersonal.”

“A true patriot never abandons his country at the hour of need.”

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
