Strangeness Quotes (page 44)

Robert Frost quote: "I dwell with a strangely aching heart. In that vanished abode..."
I dwell with a strangely aching heart. In that vanished abode there far apart Robert Frost
Marcus Aurelius quote: "How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything..."
How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life Marcus Aurelius
A wound in the soul, coming from the rending of the spiritual body, strange as it may seem, gradually closes like a physical wound. And once a deep wound heals over and the edges seem to have knit, a wound in the soul, like a physical wound, can be healed only by the force of life pushing up from inside. This was the way Natasha's wound healed. She thought her life was over. But suddenly her love for her mother showed her that the essence of life - love - was still alive in her. Love... Leo Tolstoy
Jean Rhys quote: "It is strange how sad it can be - sunlight in the afternoon,..."
It is strange how sad it can be - sunlight in the afternoon, don't you think? Jean Rhys
Then I suddenly had the most tremendous feeling of the pitifulness of human beings, whatever they were, their faces, pained mouths, personalities, attempts to be gay, little petulances, feelings of loss, their dull and empty witticisms so soon forgotten: Ah, for what? I knew that the sound of silence was everywhere and therefore everything everywhere was silence. Suppose we suddenly wake up and see that what we thought to be this and that, ain't this and that at all? I staggered up the hill,... Jack Kerouac
Next to a mother she wanted a quiet place where she could be alone when she wanted to be; to listen to the wind telling her strange tales, or hold the big spotted shell that murmured of the sea to her ear, or talk to the roses in the garden. L. M. Montgomery
Hey, what is it with you? Why are you so spaced out? You still haven't answered me."I probably still haven't completely adapted to the world," I said after giving it some thought. "I don't know, I feel like this isn't the real world. The people, the scene: they just don't seem real to me."Midori rested an elbow on the bar and looked at me. "There was something like that in a Jim Morrison song, I'm pretty sure."People are strange when you're a stranger. Haruki Murakami
But time, as well as healing all wounds, taught me something strange too: that it's possible to love more than one person in a lifetime. I remarried. I'm very happy with my new wife, and I can't imagine living without her. This, however, doesn't mean that I have to renounce all my past experiences, as long as I'm careful not to compare my two lives. You can't measure love the way you can the length of a road or the height of a building. Paulo Coelho
They hate kings, they hate priests, they hate soldiers, they hate sailors. They distrust men of science, they denounce the middle classes, they despair of working men, but they adore humanity. Only they always speak of humanity as if it were a curious foreign nation. They are dividing themselves more and more from men to exalt the strange race of mankind. They are ceasing to be human in the effort to be humane. Gilbert K. Chesterton
William Shakespeare quote: "Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows."
Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. William Shakespeare
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by slight..."
Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by slight ligaments are we bound to prosperity and ruin. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Given the choice between grabbing a strange tongue and watching a monster poop into a giant snail shell, the face retreats and slams the door behind it. Chuck Palahniuk
Mario Puzo quote: "Why should I be afraid now? Strange men have come to kill me..."
Why should I be afraid now? Strange men have come to kill me ever since I was twelve years old. Mario Puzo
What a strange thing that which men call pleasure seems to be, and how astonishing the relation it has with what is thought to be its opposite, namely pain! A man cannot have both at the same time. Yet if he pursues and catches the one, he is almost always bound to catch the other also, like two creatures with one head. Plato
It was dark in the corridor; they were standing near a light. For a minute they looked silently at each other. Razumikhin remembered that minute all his life. Raskolnikov's burning and fixed look seemed to grow more intense every moment, penetrating his soul, his consciousness. All at once Razumikhin gave a start. Something strange seemed to pass between them . . . as if the hint of some idea, something horrible, hideous, flitted by and was suddenly understood on both sides . . . Razumikhin... Fyodor Dostoevsky
