I’m an introvert and also a lover of quotes. I feel like I have gained a lot of wisdom from searching for specific quotes that match my mood or that shed light on something I want to know more about. My Instagram account is chock full of my favorite quotes and I thought it would be fun to share some of them here today.

7 Quotes Curated by An Introvert:
The world would be a much different place if every one of us followed the wisdom of this quote. It’s tenant is simple, but putting it into action in real life is difficult. Mother Teresa was a very wise woman and I aspire to be more like her.
This is one of my all-time favorite quotes and if I could do what it says, I know my life would be easier. Some days I’m able to do it and others – not so much. This quote is probably what I would like to achieve most in my life. If you can do this what problems would you have?
I agree with this quote wholeheartedly. A good sense of humor is my favorite thing about a person. If you don’t take life to seriously and see the humor in even the darkest days it makes life a lot lighter and more fun. I also think there is nothing better in this world than a good long laugh!
This quote by Groucho Marx is very close to the one by St. Francis. You can tell by my collection of quotes that this is something that I struggle with. I think we all give events and or people too much power over us. I strive daily not to let other people or events dictate my happiness or peace. I’m also trying not to live in the past or the future, but in the present moment. These are difficult concepts to perfect, but that’s okay because I strive for progress, not perfection!
This quote is for all my introverted friends out there. Extroverts will not understand it at all. This quote reminds me of one I found by Charles Bukowski recently, which said, “I don’t hate people, I just feel better when they’re not around.” I think perhaps Thoreau felt the same. I am intrigued by people and I like to write about them, but I don’t understand most of them and I feel better when there aren’t a lot of people around. Hence, this is why I would rather sit on a pumpkin all by myself!
I love, love, love this quote. I did this my whole life as I’m sure many of you have too. I asked people who had never done what I wanted to do, who didn’t think as I did, and who conducted their lives differently than I did, for advice. I also let them have major sway over decisions concerning my life. It’s easy to do if you’re surrounded by strong personalities. I know now that this was a terrible mistake on my part. I no longer do this because I have realized this life is mine alone and I need to live it how I see fit!
I believe that the purpose of art is to inspire. I write this blog to help and inspire people to find their higher self and their true purpose. I agree with Bob, I think one of the most important things you can do for a person is inspire them. I feel inspired when I stand in an art gallery looking at one of my favorite paintings, when I’m listening to a beautiful song, or when I read a favorite poem. I am grateful for all the artists who create to inspire!
