Introverts often work more slowly and deliberately. They like to focus on one task at a time and can have mighty powers of concentration . They're relatively immune to the lures of wealth and fame.

Love is essential, gregariousness is optional.

I get a lot of letters from introverts asking how they can meet people. The key is to make sure that you are doing things you enjoy.

I use a lot of old-fashioned expressions.

Naked lions are just as dangerous as elegantly dressed ones

Evangelicalism has taken the Extrovert Ideal to its logical extreme...If you don't love Jesus out loud, then it must not be real love. It's not enough to forge your own spiritual connection to the divine; it must be displayed publicly.

A widely held, but rarely articulated, belief in our society is that the ideal self is bold, alpha, gregarious. Introversion is viewed somewhere between disappointment and pathology.
