“I would say that introverts make some of the best international philosophers. The less common attribute of the introverted lifestyle - a close societal connection, as such a connection disappears or changes in relevance as the currents of the winds change - leaves too much room for one's own cultural bias.

This is the most accurate study of the individual human being, which is in turn, rather than those affected by cultural limitations, the most universal reflection of human understanding and human behavior.” HumansFormTurnsIndividualUnderstandingHuman BeingsRoomsCommonStudyToo MuchWindBehaviorReflectionConnectionsUniversalInternationalPhilosopherCurrentsDisappearLifestyleLimitationAffectedAttributesAccurateBiasInwardIntrovertHuman BehaviorLaboratoryRelevanceIntroverted Author:Criss Jami
“I took Eugene Sue's Arthur from the reading-room. It's indescribable, enough to make you vomit. You have to read this to realize the pitifulness of money, success, and the public.

“Visitors should conform as much as possible to the habits and customs of the house. They should be moderate in their demands for personal attendance.
