“A Manifesto for Introverts
1. There's a word for 'people who are in their heads too much': thinkers.
2. Solitude is a catalyst for innovation.
3. The next generation of quiet kids can and must be raised to know their own strengths.
4. Sometimes it helps to be a pretend extrovert. There will always be time to be quiet later.
5. But in the long run, staying true to your temperament is key to finding work you love and work that matters.
6. One genuine new relationship is worth a fistful of business cards.
7. It's OK to cross the street to avoid making small talk.
8. 'Quiet leadership' is not an oxymoron.
9. Love is essential; gregariousness is optional.
10. 'In a gentle way, you can shake the world.' -Mahatma Gandhi”

“What we did not truly use, need, and love had to go. This would become our motto for decluttering.”

“Wer also trotz der Auseinandersetzung mit einer gerechteren Sprache auf der Verwendung ächtender Sprache beharrt, der bekennt sich zur Ächtung von Menschen und positioniert sich bewusst gegen Gerechtigkeit, gegen die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter - für rassistische, sexistische, menschenfeindliche Sprachnutzung.”

“Menschen so zu bezeichnen, wie sie bezechnet werden wollen, ist keine Frage von Höflichkeit, auch kein Symbol politischer Korrektheit oder einer progressiven Haltung - es ist einfach eine Frage menschlichen Anstands. Ich verzichte darauf, andere trotz ihres Widerspruchs anders zu bennenen, als sie es wünschen. Ich verzichte darauf, ihre Perspektive zu unterdrücken, der ich stattdessen Raum gebe.”
