Evangelicalism has taken the Extrovert Ideal to its logical extreme...If you don't love Jesus out loud, then it must not be real love. It's not enough to forge your own spiritual connection to the divine it must be displayed publicly.

Every American was to become a performing self.
Susan Cain
Though shyness per se was unacceptable, reserve was a mark of good breeding.
Susan Cain
As a parent, if give yourself what you need, your children will watch you doing that and will give themselves what they need.
Susan Cain
Introverts .. may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas.
Susan Cain
Introverts are offered keys to private gardens full of riches. To possess such a key is to tumble like Alice down her rabbit hole. She didn't choose to go to Wonderland - but she made of it an adventure that was fresh and fantastic and very much her own.
Susan Cain
Jealousy is an ugly emotion, but it tells the truth. You mostly envy those who have what you desire.
Susan Cain
Solitude is out of fashion. Our companies, our schools and our culture are in thrall to an idea I call the New Groupthink, which holds that creativity and achievement come from an oddly gregarious place.
Susan Cain
There are only a few people out there who can completely overcome their fears, and they all live in Tibet.
Susan Cain
America had shifted from what influential cultural historian Warren Susman called a culture of character to a culture of personality, and opened up a Pandora's box of personal anxieties of which we would never recover.
Susan Cain

Susan Cain
The pressure to entertain, to sell ourselves, and never to be visibly anxious keeps ratcheting up.
Susan Cain
Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we've turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform.
Susan Cain
When you're more focused in getting your message across than you are worrying about how people are viewing you, that's huge.
Susan Cain
Introverts are capable of acting like extroverts for the sake of work they consider important, people they love, or anything they value highly.
Susan Cain
What if you love knowledge for its own sake, not necessarily as a blueprint to action? What if you wish there were more, not fewer reflective types in the world?
Susan Cain
Love is essential, gregariousness is optional.
Susan Cain
I'm insatiably curious about human nature. I feel very lucky that as a writer I get to learn so much about it just to do my job right.
Susan Cain
[Introverts,] the world needs you and it needs the things you carry. So I wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly.
Susan Cain
We're told that to be great is to be bold, to be happy is to be sociable. We see ourselves as a nation of extroverts - which means that we've lost sight of who we really are. Depending on which study you consult, one third to one half of Americans are introverts - in other words, one out of every two or three people you know.
Susan Cain
It's never a good idea to organize society in a way that depletes the energy of half the population.
