Introverts are popular loners. They know a lot of people, but they prefer to be alone. Once they're in, they're in forever. They'll care. They'll love. They'll make you feel like a million dollars. But they've got room only for a few.

'Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.'

Happy Terry Pratchett Day! 🧡
