“I do not feel I truly belong to any group. I can walk into a gathering, even share a smile, yet I remain somewhat apart, drawn not to the crowd but to the rare few with whom a real bond can be formed. I live more through solitude than through society; independence is the air I breathe. It is not that I dislike people, I enjoy being around them, but I enjoy it most as an observer, not as one who throws himself fully into the noise. My heart does not find strength in the chatter of many; it longs for the depth of a single honest conversation. And so, in groups I often feel out of place, but in the presence of one kindred spirit I feel truly alive. I am steady in solitude, creative in my distance, yet always at odds with the world’s demand that I belong.”
― Mohmod Irfan Shah
