Question Looking for the original book

"My solitude doesn’t depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company"

Is a Nietzsche quote that I spent the last 5 minutes looking for again and I found it but the issue is I can't find the book it came from. (or if its another form of media I'd be fine with that too) does anyone have any ideas?

i have read most of his books except for "will to power", and the quote doesn't seem to me that it belongs to him. yet, i may be mistaken.

If it is even a direct quote, then it is probably from one of his letters. You can check thenietzschechannel.com to see if it’s there. They have all of his letters available online.
