“I don't like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game,but it isn't exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.” PeopleIfsWellsDifferentFoundGamesSportsEnjoyHalfWatchesViolenceTeamFieldsFootballThousandQuietIntellectualEmptyBaseballBallsExcitingAppealsParksComparisonAfternoonAestheticStadiumsBounceTuesdayFootball GameSports TeamOne Sided Author:Bowie Kuhn
“On numerous visits to Manhattan, I have found myself poking around the city trying to find a moment of quiet and once located a hint of it in Central Park during a windless, late-night snowfall. There I stood absolutely still in the lemon glow of the city, a sky full of snow. The city still roared from all sides, a thousand noises compressed down to just one. I counted that distant, mild roar as quiet, a welcome relief from the more pressing noises of the daytime city.” TryingStillsMomentsNightFoundSidesCitiesSilenceSkyThousandQuietLateSnowNoiseWelcomeParksJust OneReliefHintsManhattanLemonsDaytimeLate NightCentral ParkSnowfall Author:Craig Childs

“I had always imagined Rosa Parks as a stately woman with a bold temperament, someone who could easily stand up to a busload of glowering passengers. But when she died in 2005 at the age of ninety-two, the flood of obituaries recalled her as soft-spoken, sweet, and small in stature. They said she was "timid and shy" but had "the courage of a lion." They were full of phrases like "radical humility" and "quiet fortitude.” SaidTwoAgeHumilitySweetQuietDiedRadicalPhrasesParksShyLionsFloodThey SaidNinetyTemperamentFortitudePassengersStatureRosaObituary Book:Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking Source: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
