We're all born strangers to ourselves and each other, and we're seldom formally introduced.
Robert Charles Wilson
Image
Some strangers become more important to you than family, maybe because you're not expected to love them. You can leave them whenever you want to. They can, too. Every moment together is a choice.
Walter Kirn
Image
The truth, however, was stranger still.
Dan Brown
Image
…for a true Christian, all strangers are Jesus.
A.A. Attanasio
Image
He was the strangest of strangers in that he was also her oldest friend.
Ann Brashares
Image
These people you used to see every day, friends or acquaintances, after a while they become as distant as any stranger, people you suddenly recall late at night--you remember something they said or something silly that someone once did. For a few moments they completely occupy your mind then you forget them again.
Stephen Dobyns

The fan mail I get from kids are asking me questions which they do not ask their mothers and fathers. Because if they had, why write to me, a perfect stranger?
Maurice Sendak
Image
I'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.
Alan Cumming
Image
But if a stranger in the train asks me my occupation, I never answer writer for fear that he may go on to ask me what I write, and to answer poetry would embarrass us both, for we both know that nobody can earn a living simply by writing poetry.
W. H. Auden
Image
I used to get a sort of sociophobia, and I still get it sometimes these days when I'm in a confined space with too many people. It's not like I freak out or anything, it's just that I'm far more comfortable in my own company sometimes than being surrounded by one thousand strangers.
Ryan Kwanten

She couldn't disappoint the whole village. There were no wallscreens here, no newsfeeds or satellites bands, and touring soccer teams were no doubt few and far between. (...), that made stories a valuable commodity, and it probably wasn't very often that a stranger dropped in from the sky.
Scott Westerfeld
Image
Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out.
Randall Munroe
Image
Ninety per cent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves - so how can we know anyone else?
Sydney J. Harris
Image
The most tender place in my heart is for strangers. I know it's unkind, but my own blood is much too dangerous.
Neko Case
Image
Since 1978 the record pretty well shows that no start-up airline . . . has really been successful, so the odds of JetBlue having long-term success are remote. I'm not going to say it can't happen because stranger things have happened, but I personally believe P.T. Barnum was, in that respect, correct.
Gordon Bethune
Image
As it grows ever more complicated today, musical art seeks out combinations more dissonant, stranger, and harsher for the ear. Thus, it comes ever closer to the noise-sound.
Luigi Russolo
Image
In our hearts there is a ruthless dictator, ready to contemplate the misery of a thousand strangers if it will ensure the happiness of the few we love.
Graham Greene
Image
The best conversation is rare. Society seems to have agreed to treat fictions as realities, and realities as fictions and the simple lover of truth, especially if on very high grounds, as a religious or intellectual seeker, finds himself a stranger and alien.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
When you go to a club you can talk intimately to strangers you have never met before. And they will tell you things that will be shocking to hear. Because, on the whole, people behave honestly in this situation. At the same time they can be very false.
Eddy de Clercq
Image
I look into the faces of people struggling with their own lives, and I do not see strangers.
Robert Breault
Image
Sometimes, the biggest secrets you can only tell a stranger.
Michelle Hodkin
Image
In the world I am Always a stranger I do not understand its language It does not understand my silence
Bei Dao
Image
Never floss a stranger.
Joan Rivers
Image
Isn't it interesting what a stranger can offer? A little wisdom, a little mercy, a little love.
