Sometimes you wonder, I mean really wonder. I know we make our own reality, and we always have a choice, but how much is preordained? Is there always a fork in the road, and are there two preordained paths that are equally preordained? There could be hundreds of paths where one could go this way or that way -- there's a chance, and it's very strange sometimes. - John Lennon You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consists of the fact that, when we fall in love, we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children. On the other hand, we ask our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted upon us. So that love contains in it the contradiction: The attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past. - Woody Allen People say to me, Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange. But of course...

Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else s list. I felt like the stranger in a strange land, and decided I'd better not marry the natives. - Richard Bach Trout trudged onward, a stranger in a strange land. His pilgrimage was rewarded with new wisdom, which would never have been his had he remained in his basement in Cohoes. He learned the answer to a question many human beings were asking themselves so frantically: What's blocking the traffic on the westbound barrel of the Midland City stretch of the Interstate? - Kurt Vonnegut I have been a stranger in a strange land, Halleck quoted. Paul stared at him, recognizing the quotation from the O.C. Bible, wondering: Does Gurney, too, wish an end to devious plots? - Frank Herbert Heinlein never had a best-seller. Even, I think, with Stranger in a Strange Land, I don't think it was actually on the New York Times best seller list. - Jerry Pournelle I try so hard not t...

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. - Ernest Hemingway Too much sun after a Syracuse winter does strange things to your head, makes you feel strong, even if you aren't. - Laurie Halse Anderson I love strange things; my favorite movies are weird, eclectic, and intriguing. - Gemma Arterton When I was doing Bean more than I've done him in the last few years, I did strange things - like appearing on chat shows in character as Mr. Bean. - Rowan Atkinson Strange things happen when we stand face to face with our enemy, don't they, Phaedra ...

Those were strange days, now that I look back at them. In the midst of life, everything revolved around death. - Haruki Murakami Becoming serious was not the same thing as approaching truth, I sensed, however vaguely. But death was a fact, a serious fact, no matter how you looked at it. Stuck inside this suffocating contradiction, I went on endlessly spinning in circles. Those were strange days, now that I look back at them. In the midst of life, everything revolved around death. - Haruki Murakami It was true that the city could still throw shadows filled with mystifying figures from its past, whose grip on the present could be felt on certain strange days, when the streets were dark with rain and harmful ideas. - Christopher Fowler Nicholas Benedict did have an exceptional gift for knowing things (more exceptional, in fact, than most adults would have thought possible), and yet not even he could know that this next chapter was to be the most unusual-and most important-of his entir...

What an alliance, huh? A Dark-Hunter and a Spathi united to guard an Apollite. Who would have ever imagined? (Wulf) Love makes strange bedfellows. (Acheron) I thought that was politics. (Wulf) It's both. (Acheron) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. - William Shakespeare Politics makes strange bedfellows. - Charles Dudley Warner Perhaps Bach and Beethoven are strange bedfellows for Mickey Mouse, but it's all been a lot of fun. - Walt Disney Company Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows - marriage does. - Groucho Marx

My father identified as a black man. No one asked him because he was clearly black. But people always ask me. If we were together, people would look at us in a really strange way. It sucked. As a little girl I had blond hair and they'd look at me, look at him, and be disgusted. - Mariah Carey I was saying earlier that it's really strange - you can almost step outside yourself and observe yourself running, and that's what I was doing. - Marcus Allen It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down. - Van Morrison When you get lost in a really strange place, nothing is more comforting than found your friend whom you trust and can show the way. - Toba Beta You know, it's really strange now with the Internet, with everyone having an unsolicited, anonymous opinion. - Jeff Daniels It's hard for me to talk about Dom right now because I am Dom right now. So it's a really strange exercise to try to re...
