“Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured.”

“Parsifal is the opera that begins at five-thirty and when you look at your watch three hours later, it is only five forty-five.”
― William F. Buckley Jr., Stained Glass

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
― William Shakespeare, Great Sonnets

“Humility is a most excellent barometer,” he said, “and ought to be looked for in all those we are made to look up to.”
― Alan Bradley, The Golden Tresses of the Dead
