“As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy. The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves. Even our willingness to look at ourselves critically is often helpful.But, we can go too far. We can hoard responsibility and overlook the role others play. We can kick ourselves when we're down. How many times have you felt lousy about something, only to get mad at yourself for feeling lousy?” KnowsLooksPlayFeelingsFeltQualityResponsibilityCompanyEnemyRolesKnow HowWorstComfortSolitudeNewsMadEnvyKicksHelpfulWillingnessIntrovertGood NewsWorst EnemyExtroverts Author:Laurie Helgoe
“True health begins with your thoughts. Thinking about comfort, strength, flexibility and youthfulness attracts those qualities into your life and body.

“If I were to give a summary of the tendency of our times, I would say, Quantity. The multitude, the mass spirit, dominates everywhere, destroying quality. Our entire life--production, politics, and education--rests on quantity, on numbers. The worker who once took pride in the thoroughness and quality of his work, has been replaced by brainless, incompetent automatons, who turn out enormous quantities of things, valueless to themselves, and generally injurious to the rest of mankind. Thus quantity, instead of adding to life's comforts and peace, has merely increased man's burden.” IfsMenGivingHas BeensSpiritTurnsNumbersQualityMankindPrideComfortMassWorkersProductionsBurdenEnormousTendenciesOur TimeDestroyingQuantityReplacedMultitudesIncompetentSummaryValuelessThoroughnessBrainlessEnormous Quantities Book:Anarchism and Other Essays Source: Anarchism and Other Essays
“Man's earthly existence is but a test as to whether he will concentrate his efforts, his mind, his soul upon things which contribute to the comfort and gratification of his physical instincts and passions, or whether he will make as his life's end and purpose the acquisition of spiritual qualities” MenMindSoulEndsSpiritualPurposePassionEffortExistenceQualityComfortTestsInstinctGratificationAcquisition Author:David O.

“The best thing that I can offer to people is just to be honest, and that's a rare quality. In doing so, I think there's always a top down feeling that permeates a working environment.

“The first book by an African American I read was Carl T. Rowan's memoir, Go South to Sorrow. I found it on the bookshelf at the back of my fifth-grade classroom, an adult book. I can remember the quality of the morning on which I read. It was a sunlit morning in January, a Saturday morning, cold, high, empty. I sat in a rectangle of sunlight, near the grate of the floor heater in the yellow bedroom. And as I read, I became aware of warmth and comfort and optimism. I was made aware of my comfort by the knowledge that others were not, are not, comforted. Carl Rowan at my age was not comforted.” FirstsMadeI CanBookAgeRememberFoundQualityMorningColdSorrowComfortAdultsEmptyOptimismSouthMemoirAfrican AmericanSatGradesWarmthYellowClassroomSunlightBedroomSaturdayFifthJanuaryBookshelvesFifth GradeSaturday MorningGrateRectangles Author:Richard Rodriguez

“Being forcefully rattled out of our consumer mentality - our addiction to comfort and convenience can create an opportunity for us [people] to reconnect with what we really value and with the qualities of life that really can sustain us - which include reconnecting with our roles as citizens, community members, and human beings.” PeopleHumansValuesOpportunityCommunityHuman BeingsQualityRolesCitizensComfortMembersAddictionConsumersMentalityConvenienceQuality Of LifeReconnecting Author:Tim DeChristopher
“Question the images. Take them by the hand and don't let the sweet distancing they offer you vanquish you; do away with the distance's comfort or the soft indifference you derive from concentrating on the quality of the framing, the use of light and shadows, the successful composition.

“I mean obviously we're all dealing with a lot more strangers due to the web. I'd say it has more to do with the quality of interactions.
