Charles Bukowski, on writing:

In the morning it was morning and I was still alive.
Maybe I'll write a novel, I thought.
And then I did.
- Charles Bukowski.

Introvert insight:

 

Introverts are word economists in a society suffering from verbal diarrhea.
 
– Michaela Chung.
 

I’m self-sufficient.
 
I spend a lot of time on my own and I shut off quite easily.
 
When I communicate, I communicate 900 per cent, then I shut off, which scares people sometimes.
 
– Bjork.
 

Though introverts are drained by interaction, we can take immense pleasure in watching the scene around us.
 
– Laurie Helgoe.
 

I'll read my books and I'll drink coffee and I'll listen to music, and I'll bolt the door.
 
– J. D. Salinger.
