Introvert insight:

I don’t mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I’m good at.

I do what I do and that’s it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.

– Henry Rollins.

I think a lot, but I don't say much.
– Anne Frank.

The good and the wise lead quiet lives.

– Euripides.

 

We introverts love to wander.

Our favorite destination for quiet explorations is our imagination.

No matter where we are, we feel called away by our own thoughts.

– from The Irresistible Introvert, by Michaela Chung.

Introvert insight:

In my quiet, I was working something out.

- Keanu Reeves.

 

I'm constantly around people that talk a lot but say nothing.

A sad case.

- Henry Rollins.

Do you hate people?

I don't hate them ... I just feel better when they're not around.

- Charles Bukowski.

People empty me.

I have to get away to refill.

- Charles Bukowski.

Introvert insight:

... I also believe that introversion is my greatest strength.
I have such a strong inner life that I'm never bored and only occasionally lonely.
No matter what mayhem is happening around me, I know I can always turn inward.
- Susan Cain.

 

Introverts:
As long as we have our books, our imagination, and a slice of solitude, we're content.
- from The Irresistible Introvert, by Michaela Chung.

 

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowded room with boring people than I feel on my own.
- Henry Rollins.

 

I withdraw from people and places from time to time.
I need space from a world that is filled with millions of mouths that talk too much but never have anything to say.
- Kaitlin Foster.

Introvert insight:

Solitude matters.
And for some people it’s the air they breathe.
 
– Susan Cain.
 

For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating.
 
– Jonathan Rauch.
 

People say things to me like, ‘It’s really cool that you don’t go out and get drunk all the time and go to clubs.’

I appreciate that, but I’m an introverted kind of person just by nature.

 
– Emma Watson.

I am primarily a loner.
I don’t go to clubs.
I don’t hang out with people.
I don’t know many people.
It’s just the way it ended up.
It’s not a sob story; it’s fine for me.
 
– Henry Rollins.

Henry Rollins on writing:

 

If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light.

If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls.

I will always write.

I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.

- Henry Rollins.
