Stranger Quotes

I am at home everywhere, and nowhere. I am never a stranger and I never quite belong Picture Quote #1

This is one of the consequences of the civil war. People stop trusting each other, and every stranger becomes an enemy Picture Quote #1

The irony of conversing with a stranger is that your individual lives always look very different and personal, but then you strip away the nuances to find a common likeness buried inside of diversity. Take away money and geography and we’re all just flesh and blood and soul. We’re all dealing with sin and forgiveness, love and hate, glory and shame Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it interesting what a stranger can offer? A little wisdom, a little mercy, a little love Picture Quote #1

We believe that when we choose anything, judge a stranger and even fall in love, we understand the principal factors that influenced us. Very often nothing could be further from the truth. As a result, many of our most basic assumptions about ourselves, and society, are false Picture Quote #1

It is easy to make a picture of someone and call it a portrait. The difficulty lies in making a picture that makes the viewer care about a stranger Picture Quote #1

If we do not suffer a loss all the way to the end, it will wait for us. It won’t just dissipate and disappear. Rather, it will fester, and we will experience its sorrow later, in stranger forms Picture Quote #1

Fact is often stranger than fiction because most writers of fiction try to make their stories plausible Picture Quote #1

It is better to be an outcast, a stranger in one’s own country, than an outcast from one’s self. It is better to see what is about to befall us and to resist than to retreat into the fantasies embraced by a nation of the blind Picture Quote #1

If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew Picture Quote #1

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself Picture Quote #1

Writing should... be as spontaneous and urgent as a letter to a lover, or a message to a friend who has just lost a parent... and writing is, in the end, that oddest of anomalies: an intimate letter to a stranger Picture Quote #1

People just do the strangest things when they believe they’re entitled. But they do even stranger things when they just plain believe Picture Quote #1

As in so many cases of sexual abuse within the family, it is much more complicated than had it been done by a stranger Picture Quote #1

Actually, who hasn’t been through the ghastly experience of sitting in front of a blank page, with its toothless mouth grinning at you: Go ahead, let’s see you lay a finger on me? A blank page is actually a whitewashed wall with no door and no window. Beginning to tell a story is like making a pass at a total stranger in a restaurant Picture Quote #1

I’m getting fed up of living away from home so much. They look after you very well but it doesn’t matter how well you’re looked after, how nice the hotel is, if you’re away from home constantly, the bloody dog savages you, thinks you’re a stranger, the kid cries and the wife’s stuck to your face! Picture Quote #1

When I got inside, I just sort of stood there. There’s nothing stranger than the smell of someone else’s house. The scent goes right to your stomach. Mary’s house smelled like lemon furniture polish and oatmeal cookies and logs in a fireplace. For some reason it made me want to curl up in the fetal position. I could have slept right there on their kitchen table Picture Quote #1

As a child I had dealt with a lot of loss and grief. I was constantly losing my parents, losing my home, constantly moving around, living with this stranger, that stepfather, or whatever Picture Quote #1

It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense Picture Quote #1

Theatre is a concentrate of life as normal. Theatre is a purified version of real life, an extraction, an essence of human behaviour that is stranger and more tragic and more perfect than everything that is ordinary about me and you Picture Quote #1

Some men are by nature explorers; my nature is to stay under the same moon and stars, and if the weather is wet, under the same roof. It’s a strange world, why make it stranger? Picture Quote #1

I am a stranger. I come in peace. Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity Picture Quote #1

I’ll say this, I’m no stranger to working with a foreign cast, foreign directors, that sort of thing. I love it, because I think that when you have people from different countries, it sort of brings everyone together, it’s more of a worldly film Picture Quote #1

You are a stranger in a strange land. As an evolved person living in a relatively unevolved world, you are constantly subjected to a bombardment of seemingly endless negative vibrations emanating from those around you Picture Quote #1

The challenge to writers today, I think, is not to disown any part of our heritage. Whatever our theme in writing, it is old and tried. Whatever our place, it has been visited by the stranger, it will never be new again. It is only the vision that can be new; but that is enough Picture Quote #1

There are women who have an indefinable charm in their faces which makes them beautiful to their intimates, but a cold stranger who tried to reason the matter out and find this beauty would fail Picture Quote #1

Perhaps we might, within the anatomy of our imaginations, think once more of the naked body as a vessel of grace, taste and wonder. In the spotted history of art, stranger things have happened Picture Quote #1

The figures... are not supposed to reveal anything... It’s like seeing a stranger in some place like an air terminal for the first time. You look at him, you notice his shoes, his suit, the pin in his lapel, but you don’t have any particular feeling about him Picture Quote #1

I spot a little stranger standing across the room, my brain takes a vacation just to give my heart more room Picture Quote #1

If what you create seems to turn out much stranger than who you are as a person, it’s probably because your heart is talking Picture Quote #1
