SUSAN CAIN Quotes



"In our culture, snails are not considered valiant animals -- we are constantly exhorting people to "come out of their shells" -- but there's a lot to be said for taking your home with you wherever you go." ~Susan Cain

"Introverts may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions." ~Susan Cain, author,  Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
