People say strange things, the boy thought. Sometimes it's better to be with the
sheep, who don't say anything. And better still to be alone with one's books.
They tell their incredible stories at the time when you want to hear them. But
when you're talking to people, they say some things that are so strange that
you don't know how to continue the conversation.
- Paulo Coelho
Everybody has strange things that mean things to them. You couldn't help it.

Well, finally, the events I've been through have been tremendously complicated. All kinds of characters have come on the scene, and strange things have happened one after another, to the point where, if I try to think about them in order, I lose track.
- Haruki Murakami
I love to explore new and strange things in detail.
This habit reduces element of surprises in my life.

Believe then, if you please, that I can do strange things. [Act 5, Scene 2]
- William Shakespeare
Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind and I don't worry about my destiny.
- Carl Sandburg
Holding the power did strange things to my mind. In just a few moments, I became familiar with
the power itself, with its history, and with the ways it might be used.
Yet, this knowledge was different from experience, or even ability to use that power. For
instance, I knew how to move a planet in the sky. Yet, I didn't know where to place it so that it
wouldn't be too close, or too far, from the sun.
- Brandon Sanderson
... I know we loved each other, but distance can do strange things to people and before I was willing to tell you about it, I wanted to be certain that it would last...

When a mortal dreams, all kinds of strange things can happen. When a wizard dreams, it can be even weirder. Sometimes, dreams can be intense enough to create a little, temporary world of their own.
- Jim Butcher
She spent all her free time either drawing the strange things she saw in her dreams, or with her nose inside historical novels. The world held in
the pages of history felt like the real world, and the present day an illusion she had to suffer through until she could escape back into the pages of a
book.
- Lisa Cach
The function of the imagination is not to make strange things settled, so much as to make settled things strange.

There's lots of things you don't know. All kinds of strange things... mostly they happened before we were born: that makes them seem to me so much more real.
- Truman Capote
Are you,
Are you,
Coming to the tree,
Where they strung up a man they said murdered three?
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it be,
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
- Suzanne Collins
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here.
No stranger would let it be if we met up
At midnight in the hanging tree.
- Suzanne Collins
What's lucky about my career in general is that I stumbled into what every writer most wants. Not repeating myself and doing strange things has become my trademark.
- Jonathan Lethem
Most of my friends are into strange things I don't really understand - and with a few shameful exceptions I wish them all well. Who am I, after all, to tell some friend he shouldn't change his name to Oliver High, get rid of his family, and join a Satanism cult in Seattle? Or to argue with another friend who wants to buy a single-shot Remington Fireball so he can go out and shoot cops from a safe distance?
- Hunter S Thompson
Everything is strange. Things are huge and very small. The stalks of flowers are thick as oak trees. Leaves are high as the domes of vast cathedrals. We are giants, lying here, who can make forests quiver.

- Charles Dickens
Can a better kind of fiction save the world? There's always some tiny hope (strange things do happen), but the answer is almost certainly no, it can't. There is some reasonable chance, however, that it could save your soul. If you're unhappy about the hatred that's been unleashed in your heart, you might try imagining what it's like to be the person who hates you; you might consider the possibility that you are, in fact, the Evil One yourself.
- Jonathan Franzen
What she did have were Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Licorice Wands, and a number of other strange things Harry had never seen in his life.
- J K Rowling
One thing I've learned is that strange things do happen. They happen all the time. Today, for instance, my best friend Jill's cat spoke. We were making brownies in the kitchen when we heard it say, 'Let me out.
- Alice Hoffman
The strangest thing about strange things is that they're only strange when you hear about them or think about them later, but never when you're living them.
- Lori Lansens
I could tell I was at the gateway of a region half-bewitched through the piling-up of unbroken time-accumulations; a region where old, strange things have had a chance to grow and linger because they have never been stirred up.

Lady Alice Rowhedge
- Norah Lofts
There are strange things lost and forgotten in obscure corners of the newspaper.
- Arthur Machen
To me, the whole idea of fame and I think it can be a real test of somebody, of who they are. You know, 'cause some strange things happen. I've seen some peculiar things as far as a person just living their life.
- Tobey Maguire
Lynch is an ordinary, smalltown guy and he just sees strange things in people.
- Jack Nance
We've all got strange things about us and Lynch picks those things up.
- Jack Nance
You always end up getting involved in things because of, you know, the strange things your life brings you into contact with.
- Edward Norton
Imagine people calling you to find out if you're dead. I've led a real crazy life at times, and I've had many strange things happen to me, but that was one of the strangest.
- Richard Pryor
I don't have this crazy dream about going to Hollywood, because I really love to watch movies and do movies that are complicated, and I want more strange things and complicated things.
- Noomi Rapace
Strange things are always abounding. Watch and discern. There is always a lesson to be learned.
- Vanessa Richardson
Lovers, if Angels could understand them, might utter
strange things in the midnight air. For it seems that everything's
trying to hide us. Look, the trees exist; the houses
we live in still stand where they were. We only
pass everything by like a transposition of air.
And all combines to suppress us, partly as shame,
perhaps, and partly as inexpressible hope.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
When the wine goes in, strange things come out.

- Mary Stewart
Let me be accurate in everything, for though you and I have seen some strange things together, you may at the first think that I, Van Helsing, am mad. That the many horrors and the so long strain on nerves has at the last turn my brain.
- Bram Stoker
We are in Transylvania, and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things. Nay, from what you have told me of your experiences already, you know something of what strange things there may be.
- Bram Stoker
I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul. God keep me, if only for the sake of those dear to me!
- Bram Stoker
Oh, my dear, if you only knew how strange is the matter regarding which I am here, it is you who would laugh. I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be. I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane.
- Bram Stoker
I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like, why they said all the strange things they did.
- Julie Walters
A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.
