Quotes
“Extroverts are more likely to focus on what’s happening around them. It’s as if extroverts are seeing what is, while their introverted peers are asking what if.”
Quiet, p. 168 “Whatever pain you can't get rid of, make it your creative offering.”
Bittersweet, Chapter 3 “Upbeat tunes make us want to dance around our kitchens and invite friends for dinner. But it's sad music that makes us want to touch the sky.”
Bittersweet, Chapter 2 “Love is essential, gregariousness is optional.”
Quiet “Longing is momentum in disguise: It's active, not passive; touched with the creative, the tender, and the divine.”
Bittersweet, p. xxvi
