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 nourish 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.
