What I generally get from being in Africa is a sense of warmth and openness. As a stranger, you are always welcomed into people's homes and people are always offering you food. That generosity is incredibly touching.
Naomie Harris
Image
It is a dead heart. It is inside of me. It is a stranger yet once it was agreeable, opening and closing like a clam.
Anne Sexton
Image
Ignore any loss of nerve, ignore any loss of self-confidence, ignore any doubt or confusion. Move on believing in love, in peace, and harmony, and in great accomplishment. Remember joy isn't a stranger to you. You are winning and you are strong. Love. Love first, love always, love forever.
Anne Rice
Image
When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
It is what a man does for strangers that counts more than what he does for his family.
Melina Marchetta

Grace arrived, like the big, loopy stitches with which a grandmotherly stranger might baste your hem temporarily.
Anne Lamott

Hail! the small courtesies of life, for smooth do ye make the road of it, like grace and beauty, which beget inclinations to love at first sight it is ye who open the door and let the stranger in.
Laurence Sterne
Image
As long as any one has the means of doing good to his neighbours, and does not do so, he shall be reckoned a stranger to the love of the Lord.
Irenaeus of Lyons
Image
We need new cultural scripts. Women don't say what we want, and we don't say what we don't want. Unless we're reacting to a stranger, we generally aren't great at turning down someone's advance.
Vanessa Grigoriadis
Image
If you are strangers to prayer you are strangers to power.
Billy Sunday

It's weird how people who are the least close to me or who've never even met me purport to be experts on the real me and then, sadly, there are those who could be in touch with me but prefer to gossip with strangers about me instead.
Vanna Bonta
Image
No foreign sky protected me, no stranger's wing shielded my face. I stand as witness to the common lot survivor of that time, that place.
Anna Akhmatova
Image
Ah, happy hills! ah, pleasing shade! Ah, fields beloved in vain! Where once my careless childhood stray'd, A stranger yet to pain! I feel the gales that from ye blow A momentary bliss bestow.
Thomas Gray

When I look at the Abnegation lifestyle as an outsider, I think it’s beautiful. When I watch my family move in harmony when we go to dinner parties and everyone cleans together afterward without having to be asked when I see Caleb help strangers carry their groceries, I fall in love with this life all over again.
Veronica Roth
Image
Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.
Barbara Bush
Image
Most travel, and certainly the rewarding kind, involves depending on the kindness of strangers, putting yourself into the hands of people you don't know and trusting them with your life.
Paul Theroux
Image
A man can go from being a lover to being a stranger in three moves flat but a woman under the guise of friendship will engage in acts of duplicity which come to light very much later. There are different species of self-justification.
Anita Brookner
Image
I have health. I have a wonderful support system. I have the admiration of millions of strangers, which I do not underestimate

The truth is that I think that most people, and most people in this book, 'Goodbye, Stranger', are really doing their best but they're stumbling all over the place and they're hurting each other deliberately and by accident.
Rebecca Stead
Image
I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.
Bear Grylls
Image
Some people tried to hurt us to protect themselves, their family and communities...This was one of the consequences of civil war. People stopped trusting each other, and every stranger became an enemy. Even people who knew you became extremely careful about how they related or spoke to you.
Ishmael Beah

The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).
Andy Warhol

Pico Iyer describes his writing as intimate letters to a stranger, and I think that is what the writing process is. It begins with a question, and then you follow this path of exploration.
