I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
Imagine the uncomfortable pumpkin at one end and crowded velvet cushion at the other. Where does your preference lie?
Solo uncomfortable pumpkin? Velvet cushiness and company? Or somewhere in between?
That’s probably a decent indicator of where you’d fall on the introvert-extravert spectrum if you took a personality test. And Thoreau’s is much quicker!
I read this quote many years ago and it always remained in my memory . I love pumpkins and the fall and they are synonymous with each other. And, yes, I am sure this has to do with my psyche and this is ok by me!
