“Introverts keep their best stuff inside—that is, until it is ready. And this drives extroverts crazy! The explanation for the introvert’s behavior—and there must be an explanation for this behavior, say the extroverts—is that he or she is antisocial, out of touch, or simply a snob.”
― Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength

“What we share as introverts is the love of ideas and the desire to explore them with minimal interruption. We want and need input, but we’d rather get it through reading, research, and rich conversation than through unfiltered talk.”
― Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength

“When an introvert cares about someone, she also wants contact, not so much to keep up with the events of the other person’s life, but to keep up with what’s inside: the evolution of ideas, values, thoughts, and feelings.”
― Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength

“This is why it is sometimes hard for introverts to find words: we really hate to compromise, and words are always a compromise.”
