I have a terrible problem with procrastination... a friend told me, "Well, you should go to therapy." And I thought about it, but then I said, "Wait a minute. Why should I pay a stranger to listen to me talk when I can get strangers to pay to listen to me talk?" (Ellen DeGeneres)
Health to thee! My heart is near thee. Old age is arrived. Weakness subdues me, and strength has sorsaken all my members. I came a stranger into this world, and a stranger I depart. I do not know who I am, nor what I have been doing. The instant which has passed in power has left only sorrow behind it. I have not been the guardian and protector of the empire. My valuable time has been passed vainly... View quote
Aurangzeb
Physics is often stranger than science fiction, and I think science fiction takes its cues from physics: higher dimensions, wormholes, the warping of space and time, stuff like that. View quote
Michio Kaku
Silent solitude makes true speech possible and personal. If I am not in touch with my own belovedness, then I cannot touch the sacredness of others. If I am estranged from myself, I am likewise a stranger to others. View quote
Brennan Manning
You hail from Dream-land, Dragon-fly? A stranger hither? So am I, And (sooth to say) I wonder why We either of us came! View quote
Agnes Mary Frances Duclaux
The difference between a stranger sending you a message that you might be interested in at a very low volume level, no repetition, just sending it to very few people, and that being done as spam - those things get close enough that you want to be careful never to filter out something that's legitimate. View quote
Bill Gates
I groaned with horror, doubting whether I was not out of my senses; but the Stranger continued: "Surely you must now see that my explanation, and no other, suits the phenomena. What you call Solid things are really superficial; what you call Space is really nothing but a great Plane. View quote
Edwin Abbott Abbott
Youth is the future smiling at a stranger, which is itself. View quote
Victor Hugo
You know what I want. If I may become a clergyman, if I fulfill that position so that my work is equal to that of our Father [who was a clergy-man], then I shall thank God. I have good hope that I shall succeed, it was once said to me by someone who was further on in life than I, and who was no stranger in Jerusalem:... I believe that you are a Christian, you see, it was so good for me to hear those words... It is good to believe that there is a God who knows what we need, better than we know it ourselves, and who helps us when we need help. It is also good to believe that, just as in the olden days, now, too, an angel is not far from those who feel godly sorrow... I've carefully read the story of Elijah so often, and so often has it given me strength up to now:. View quote
Vincent van Gogh
Tis strange - but true; for Truth is always strange, Stranger than Fiction. View quote
Lord Byron
It is a sensation not experienced by many mortals, said he, to be looking into a churchyard on a wild windy night, and to feel that I no more hold a place among the living than these dead do, and even to know that I lie buried somewhere else, as they lie buried here. Nothing uses me to it. A spirit that was once a man could hardly feel stranger or lonelier, going unrecognized among mankind, than I feel. (Charles Dickens)
Stranger, pause and ask thyself the question, Canst thou do likewise If not, with a blush retire. View quote
Charles Dickens
Yesterday is safe, Tomorrow's full of danger, Yesterday's a face I know, Tomorrow is a stranger. View quote
Henry Summers
Stranger to love and the benevolent hand of age...... History has recorded on our papery hearts By the reed And each partition of the reed Complains of the Masnavi of our groans: ...........?? The lines in your hands (these winding roads) Is familiar to my eye. Believe me The lines in your hand Are more familiar to me than my own lines... Ah O friend... They buried us together in the grave A thousand years ago. View quote
Farrokh Tamimi
In mysteries what we know, and our realization of what we do not know, proceed together; the larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder. It is like the quantum world, where the more we understand its formalism, the stranger that world becomes. View quote
Huston Smith
He was a stranger in a strange land: lost in the cosmos, a man with neither compass nor guide, sitting in a tomb in Egypt surrounded by the dead, with Giles-a man his own age, but separated by class and sensibility and four hundred years-looking to him for answers. View quote
Stephen R. Lawhead
His last thought, as sleep overtook him, was that it was true what Cosimo had said: the universe was far stranger than anyone imagined, or could imagine. View quote
Stephen R. Lawhead
So I'm hopeless. Rollin' down the freeway swervin, don't worry,I'm about to crash up on the curb, 'cause my visions blurry. Maybe if they tried to understand me, what should I do?I had to feed my fuckin' family, what else could I do? But be a thug, out slangin' with the homies, fuck hangin' with them phonies in the clubs.Got my mind on danger, never been a stranger to homicide. My city's full of gang bangers and drive-bys, why do we die at an early age? He was so young, but still a victim of the 12 gauge,my memories of a corpse. View quote
Tupac Shakur
People change with time. There are things that happened to a person in his childhood and years later they seem to him alien and strange. I am trying to decipher that child. Sometimes he is a stranger to me. When you think about when you were 14, don't you feel a certain alienation? View quote
Günter Grass
There is an aphorism about a farmer who before sunrise on a cold and misty morning, saw a huge beast on a distant hill. He seized his rifle and walked cautiously toward the ogre to head off an attack on his family. When he got nearer, he was relieved to find that the beast was only a small bear. He approached more confidently and when he was within a few hundred yards the distorting haze had lifted sufficiently so that he could recognize the figure as only that of a man. Lowering his rifle, he walked toward the stranger and discovered he was his brother. View quote
Louis Nizer
By Jove the stranger and the poor are sent, And what to those we give, to Jove is lent. (Homer)
It's wrong, my friend, to send any stranger packing- even one who arrives in worse shape than you. Every stranger and beggar comes from Zeus and whatever scrap they get from the likes of us, they'll find it welcome. View quote
Homer
Simply handing over your iPod to a friend, your blind date, or the total stranger sitting next to you on the plane opens you up like a book." (Steven Levy) View quote
Walter Isaacson
When a stranger identifies you from a friend's description, it's just as well you didn't hear the description. View quote
Mignon McLaughlin
(Woman psychic to woman client) So how come the tall, dark, handsome stranger I see in your future is a woman? View quote
