“It is remarkable how a man cannot summarize his thoughts in even the most general sort of way without betraying himself completely, without putting his whole self into it, quite unawares, presenting as if in allegory the basic themes and problems of his life.”

“Sometimes speakers need to talk about subjects that don't interest them much, especially at work. I believe this is harder for introverts, who have trouble projecting artificial enthusiasm.

There is no one more courageous than the person who speaks with the courage of his convictions.”
― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
