Strange Quotes

The idea would be in my mind - and I know it sounds strange - is that the most important advances in medicine would be made not by new knowledge in molecular biology, because that’s exceeding what we can even use. It’ll be made by mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, figuring out a way to get all that information together Picture Quote #1

In my teaching, I try to expose my students to the widest range of aesthetic possibilities, so I’ll offer them stories from Anton Chekhov to Denis Johnson, from Flannery O’Connor to A.M. Homes, and perhaps investigating all that strange variation of beauty has rubbed off on me. Or perhaps that’s why I enjoy teaching literature Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it strange, how one so afraid of contracting a fatal malady...should so earnestly wish for death, as well~? Picture Quote #1

What strange beings we are! That sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we’re afraid of our own immortality Picture Quote #1

At this point in my life - age 24 - I have chosen a fairly strange path that not many are walking. I am a professional spoken word poet who tours the world performing and teaching. I run an organization called Project VOICE dedicated to using this art form as an education and empowerment tool in schools and communities of all kinds Picture Quote #1

God is wild; I am tame....Night falls and an age ends....We call and are answered through the thick foliage, by voices too strange to be our own Picture Quote #1

I think it’s strange when people my age and younger get surgery. Somebody’s got to play old people Picture Quote #1

At the age of nine, I simultaneously fell in love with two Dutch sisters because they seemed so beautifully strange, and their clothes were mysterious and alluring - added to which, they could not speak a word of English. More than anything, I wanted to connect with them and embark on a vast journey of exploration Picture Quote #1

My parents are aging and there are difficult issues. It’s strange to have children at the beginning of life and parents nearing the end Picture Quote #1

We’ve only had aircrafts for a hundred years, and yet look at us. So, I’ve become absolutely fascinated by this strange, bizarre world of airports, air travel and transportation. It’s interesting Picture Quote #1

Selfishness, narcissism, being uncomfortable in your own skin, not feeling connected to the world around you, feeling dislocated from family and youth, having a strange relationship with your childhood - all those things feel really true to me Picture Quote #1

Suppose I put polka dots all over my body and then cover my background completely with polka dots. The polka dots on my body, merging with those in the background, create an optically strange scene Picture Quote #1

Nobody knows anything. I deal with people in all walks of life, some of whom should have some idea of what they’re doing. And they’re all clueless. It’s astonishing that any bridges stay up, or that planes don’t constantly plummet from the sky. It’s heartening, in a strange way Picture Quote #1

Oh, whoever has been himself alone can never find another’s loneliness strange Picture Quote #1

To awaken quite alone in a strange parallel universe is the priceless moment to a time traveler! Picture Quote #1

I was born odd. I was a strange child. My grandmother was always praying over me. She was always rubbing me and praying over me Picture Quote #1

Most of us pass our lives never once laying eyes on our own organs, the most precious and amazing things we own. Until something goes wrong, we barely give them thought. This seems strange to me. How is it that we find Christina Aguilera more interesting than the inside of our own bodies? Picture Quote #1

You are the single most amazing person, faery, woman in this world or the other. Because of you, I am a part of this strange new world, have a second mother, and . . . eternity. I have almost everything I could want Picture Quote #1

I look for people who have drive, who have ambition, who are humble. I’ve hired many people at very strange places Picture Quote #1

My accent has changed my whole life. When I was younger, it was very Nigerian, then when we went to England, it was very British. I think I have a very strange, hybrid accent, and I’ve worked very hard to get a solid American accent, which is what I use most of the time Picture Quote #1

There are two factors in American politics that may seem strange to Europeans: race and religion Picture Quote #1

I’ve always liked American actors particularly. Because that was my first impression. I was very enamoured of America when I was a kid because we were surrounded by American soldiers during the war, the accent was very strange to me, it was very exotic and very captivating Picture Quote #1

I never really wanted to be a writer. I know it sounds strange, but I honestly believe that I didn’t pick the story; the story has picked me. I’ve written absolutely no fiction before ‘The Immortals of Meluha.’ Not even a short story in school - absolutely nothing Picture Quote #1

Written by the ancient Chinese philosopher of the same name, the ‘Zhuangzi’ is one long perplexing puzzle of a rambling collection of enigmatic short stories. It’s a strange feeling to laugh at a joke written by someone in the 4th century B.C Picture Quote #1

I once read that you die because you see the Angel of Death, and you fall in love. And you fall in love so hard your soul is sucked out through your eyes, and that’s the moment of death. It’s a lovely, strange old Jewish legend Picture Quote #1

My mother was very ill when I was 18. She had a brain operation and then a nervous breakdown. It’s very strange when you see your parents, who have always been your pillars of strength, suddenly become vulnerable. You don’t know whether to be angry that they are not strong or devastated Picture Quote #1

The amount of speculation surrounding my romantic life is astounding. It’s strange how involved people get: invested and angry, really disappointed Picture Quote #1

I’m so grateful that I’m able to do something about this passion that I have for shelter animals. In a strange way, it completes me. It means so much to me and makes me feel like I’m truly making a difference Picture Quote #1

Evolution was in a strange mood when that creation came along.... It makes one wonder just where the plant world leaves off and the animal world begins Picture Quote #1

Working out another system to replace Newton’s laws took a long time because phenomena at the atomic level were quite strange. One had to lose one’s common sense in order to perceive what was happening at the atomic level Picture Quote #1
