“[Schulz] came to see that the better part of his shyness was really vanity, or self-centeredness. "Shyness is an illusion," he would say, late in life. "If you get out and do something and talk to people, you don't have to be shy. Shyness is the overtly self-conscious thinking that you are the only person in the world; that how you look and what you do is of any importance.”
David Michaelis“The level of shyness has gone up dramatically in the last decade. I think shyness is an index of social pathology rather than a pathology of the individual.”
Philip G. Zimbardo“Shy people are my favorites. The unmistakable glint of shyness in someone's eyes can mesmerize me for years!”
Avijeet Das“Shyness is a luxury reserved for those who are above the poverty line. To a beggar, being shy is deadly.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana“A man's vanity is more fragile that you might think. It's easy for us to mistake shyness for coldness, and silence for indifference.”
Lisa Kleypas, Devil in Winter“The love of books was an instant connection, and a true boon for a girl who tended toward shyness, because it was a source of endless conversation.”

Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca“We need to do teacher training to educate them about what temperament means. Shyness is painful and you want to help a child with shyness - but the underlying temperament of being a careful, sensitive person is to be honoured, valued and respected.”
Susan Cain
