The
secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting.
For some, it’s a Broadway
spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk.
Use your natural powers – of persistence,
concentration, and insight – to do work you love and work that matters.
Solve
problems.
Make art.
Think deeply.
– Susan Cain.
I prefer tongue-tied
knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
– Marcus Tullius Cicero.
Our culture made a
virtue of living only as extroverts.
We discouraged the inner journey, the
quest for a center.
So we lost our center and have to find it again.
– Anaïs
Nin.
He’s a wallflower.
You
see things.
You keep quiet about them.
And you understand.
– Stephen Chbosky.
