"Introverts tend to internalize problems. In other words, we place the source of problems within and blame ourselves.

Internalizers tend to be reliable and responsible, but we can also be very hard on ourselves."

-- Laurie Helgoe

At the cry of "la patrie" he enrols, and at the call of liberty he tears up the pavements. Beware of him!”
“We must strive to be like the moon”
“I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will - and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain.

“Creating doesn't make us unhappy, unhappiness makes us creative. To create is to live, and in living, we want only to creat more, to set our foundations depper and reach higher toward the sky. If sadness is what makes us creative, then sadness is nothing else but life.”
