Susan Cain
“We don't need giant personalities to transform companies. We need leaders who build not their own egos but the institutions they run.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Susan Cain
“The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers -- of persistence, concentration, and insight -- to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Allynn Riggs
“You didn't have to look your enemy in the eye or take responsibility for their deaths or injuries with a killing light beam. Killing someone at such a distance required no courage, strength, or intelligence.”
Allynn Riggs, The Blood

Tsugumi Ohba
“The most intelligent people disguise the fact that they are intelligent. Wise men do not wear name tags. The more people talk about their own skills, the more desperate they are—their work should speak for itself.”
Tsugumi Ohba

Susan Cain
“I had always imagined Rosa Parks as a stately woman with a bold temperament, someone who could easily stand up to a busload of glowering passengers. But when she died in 2005 at the age of ninety-two, the flood of obituaries recalled her as soft-spoken, sweet, and small in stature. They said she was "timid and shy" but had "the courage of a lion." They were full of phrases like "radical humility" and "quiet fortitude.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
