I too would just rather stay home and read a book than to have to go into groups, my hands sweat etc. but put on a happy face and do whatever has to be done. - Mary Jardine Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:18:03 +0100 http://www.amazingwomenrock.com/myblog/fitting-in-is-vastly-overrated-it-s-proven.html#comment-98 Hi Susan, Reading your article reminded me of two things: 1. A quote (by George Bernard Shaw, I believe) about how it is the "unreasonable person" who changes the world. 2. A book by a French Dominican, 'The Intellectual Life' where he says that if one is serious about pursuing the intellectual life than social gatherings don't really fit. While I've not pursuing an intellectual life, I do want to be a more scholarly practitioner - with the larger goal of changing my corner of the world. That's my excuse for a rather quiet social life. :-) I plan to get Felder's book for our library. - Terry Netto Wed, 18 Mar 2009 10:00:49 +0100
