Introvert insight:

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.
