Introverts .. may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas.

Everyone shines, given the right lighting.

I've never given a speech without being terrified first.

I think the shyness one feels in childhood is often overcome with time. There are children who hide behind their parents' legs, but you don't see grown-ups hiding behind people. It just doesn't happen. I mean, not that often. People develop social skills over time.

Introverts are capable of acting like extroverts for the sake of work they consider important, people they love, or anything they value highly.

The bias against introversion leads to a colossal waste of talent, energy, and happiness.

We know from myths and fairy tales that there are many different kinds of powers in this world. One child is given a light saber, another a wizard's education. The trick is not to amass all the different kinds of power, but to use well the kind you've been granted.
