“Revenge, lust, ambition, pride, and self-will are too often exalted as the gods of man’s idolatry; while holiness, peace, contentment, and humility are viewed as unworthy of a serious thought.”
— Charles Spurgeon

“This-this was what made life: a moment of quiet the water falling in the fountain the girl’s voice … a moment of captured beauty. He who is truly wise will never permit such moments to escape.”
— Louis L’Amour

“Spare a thought for the poor introverts among us. In a world of party animals and glad-handers, they’re the ones who stand by the punch bowl. In a world of mixers and pub crawls, they prefer to stay home with a book. Everywhere around them, cell phones ring and e-mails chime and they just want a little quiet.”
– Jeffrey Kluger
