Susan Cain
“Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

John Banville
“Although it was autumn and not summer the dark-gold sunlight and the inky shadows, long and slender in the shape of felled cypresses, were the same, and there was the same sense of everything drenched and jewelled and the same ultramarine glitter on the sea. I felt inexplicably lightened; it was as if the evening, in all the drench and drip of its fallacious pathos, had temporarily taken over from me the burden of grieving.”
John Banville, The Sea

Madeleine L'Engle
“In the day school she went to in New York she had long intimate conversations with them all in her imagination, but never in reality.”
Madeleine L'Engle, And Both Were Young

Susan Cain
“The highly sensitive [introverted] tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions--sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments--both physical and emotional--unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss--another person's shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Denis Johnson
“What could be lonelier than trying to communicate?”
Denis Johnson
