Introvert insight:

 

Whatever kind of introvert you are, some people will find you 'too much' in some ways and 'not enough' in others. 

- Laurie Helgoe.

 
There's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas.
- Susan Cain.
 

Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.
- Paulo Coello.
 

Beware of those who seek constant crowds; they are nothing alone.
- Charles Bukowski.

Charles Bukowski, on writing:

When I begin to doubt my ability to work the word, I simply read another writer and know I have nothing to worry about.

My contest is only with myself, to do it right, with power, and force, and delight, and gamble.
