Introvert insights:

 
If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet ... maybe we could understand something.
– Federico Fellini.


 
Introverts dislike small talk, but are fluent in the language of ideas and dreams.
– from The Irresistible Introvert by Michaela Chung.



 Sometimes I go out and hear people talk about irrelevant things, and then I tell myself this is why I don't go out.
– Keanu Reeves.



When an introvert is quiet, don't assume he is depressed, snobbish or socially deficient.
– Laurie Helgoe.
