“have the right to be healthy and happy and to pursue their dreams without encumbrance then so do INFPs, and if they neglect their own needs to serve the interests of others they are really just passively accepting the terms of their own oppression.”
Truity, The True INFP

John Steinbeck
“Here is the node, you who hate change and fear revolution. Keep these two squatting men apart; make them hate, fear, suspect each other. Here is the anlage of the thing you fear. This is the zygote. For here 'I lost my land' is changed; a cell is split and from its splitting grows the thing you hate--'We lost *our* land.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

“They have an inherent ability to find hidden order where at first glance things appear chaotic and unconnected.”
Truity, The True INFP

Kimon Nicolaïdes
“There is no such thing as getting more than you put into anything.”
Kimon Nicolaides, The Natural Way to Draw

Susan Cain
“Extroverts are more likely to take a quick-and-dirty approach to problem-solving, trading accuracy for speed, making increasing numbers of mistakes as they go, and abandoning ship altogether when the problem seems too difficult or frustrating. Introverts think before they act, digest information thoroughly, stay on task longer, give up less easily, and work more accurately. Introverts and extroverts also direct their attention differently: if you leave them to their own devices, the introverts tend to sit around wondering about things, imagining things, recalling events from their past, and making plans for the future. The extroverts are more likely to focus on what's happening around them. It's as if extroverts are seeing "what is" while their introverted peers are asking "what if.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
