"There's sometimes a tugging feeling you get to push further when you aren't being challenged enough or when things get too comfortable."

He only wants to relax until he's ready to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has become absolutely trivial."

"Telling an introvert to go to a party is like telling a saint to go to Hell."

"To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.'
