“Conversation between Jem and Ethan on Sean:
'"... Has it never occurred to you that maybe your brother brings out the worst in people?"
"Or the best," he said, "depending on which way you look at it."
"You're as bad as he is."
"Actually, I'm much worse.”
― J.A. Belfield, Darkness & Light

“People wonder why so many writers come to live in Paris. I’ve been living ten years in Paris and the answer seems simple to me: because it’s the best place to pick ideas. Just like Italy, Spain.. or Iran are the best places to pick saffron. If you want to pick opium poppies you go to Burma or South-East Asia. And if you want to pick novel ideas, you go to Paris.”
― Roman Payne, Crepuscule

“I envy people that know love. That have someone who takes them as they are.”
― Jess C Scott, The Devilin Fey

“Introverts need to trust their gut and share their ideas as powerfully as they can. This does not mean aping extroverts; ideas can be shared quietly, they can be communicated in writing, they can be packaged into highly produced lectures, they can be advanced by allies. The trick for introverts is to honor their own styles instead of allowing themselves to be swept up by prevailing norms.”
― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
