Being Stranger Quotes

Living, being in the world, was a much greater and stranger thing than she had ever dreamed Picture Quote #1

You are the Supreme Being, and yet thinking yourself to be separate from it, you strive to become united with it. What is stranger than this? Picture Quote #1

Being 36 years old changes you a lot, and so does eight years away from career, fame, needing attention, needing to be loved by strangers on some level. I was loving anonymity. I was loving the fact that I could meet a girl who didn’t know who I was. I enjoyed it very much, I have to say Picture Quote #1

The rules of game shows limit stuff so much. I remember on ‘Money From Strangers,’ being in the van - not even performing - and there was a lawyer there the entire time. ‘No, you can’t give money for that. Yes, you can give money for that. That’s a partial answer. That’s a full answer.’ Picture Quote #1

More and more I think of privatisation as being not just about the takeover of resources and power by corporate interests, but as the retreat of citizens to private life and private space, screened from solidarity with strangers and increasingly afraid or even unable to imagine acting in public Picture Quote #1

You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who’s a friend Picture Quote #1

That’s usually how I get to know strangers - get inappropriately touchy. Once they’ve experienced the awkwardness of you being way too close for comfort, after that, it all gets easy Picture Quote #1

To work with someone you love is something special, an incredible experience. But it could be a negative. You have to make a strong commitment to be honest; you’re not just being polite, like strangers on an airplane; you’re working Picture Quote #1

Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn’t wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a coed dorm. Looking back, that was crazy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think, especially in our business we meet a lot of people, and sometimes you spend so much time being nice to strangers, and so, you know, keeping a clear head and just being nice to each other. And that’s all the advice I can give Picture Quote #1

Harold could no longer pass a stranger without acknowledging the truth that everyone was the same, and also unique; and that this was the dilemma of being human Picture Quote #1

Do your work for six years; but in the seventh, go into solitude or among strangers, so that the memory of your friends does not hinder you from being what you have become Picture Quote #1

It’s sad when you’ve already learned to be a part of someone’s life and then end up being strangers Picture Quote #1
