reflections of an introvert

"The sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he can't stay quietly in his room", from Pensees, by French philospher Blaise Pascal, 1623 - 1662.

Surely the words of an introvert! But of course his room would have to be for him alone. Remember Sartre - "L'Enfer, c'est les autres" - Hell is other people (from the play Huis clos)... especially if you are trapped in the same room with them for eternity!
