My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has
always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct
contact with other human beings and communities. I am truly a "lone
traveler" and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends,
or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all
these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for
solitude.
