About This Quote
The people that I liked and had not met went to the big cafes because they were lost in them and no one noticed them and they could be alone in them and be together. Those who spend a lot of time alone are often misunderstood. They may take a while to warm up to people, but once they do, they are happiest when they’re with their friends. The best company is that of those who share your interests, but you can also feel at home by yourself, if that’s what you need.
