Another basic difference in people's use of perception and judgment arises from their relative interest in their outer and inner worlds. Introversion, in the sense given to it by Jung in formulating the term and the idea, is one of two complementary orientations to life; its complement is extraversion.

~ Italo Calvino
Non c'è notte di luna in cui negli animi malvagi le idee perverse non s'aggroviglino come nidiate di serpenti e in cui negli animi caritatevoli non sboccino gigli di rinuncia e dedizione.
~ Italo Calvino
