“It is my belief that everyone is a stranger as an individual and since everyone is a stranger, that is precisely the reason we cannot question someone else’s strangeness or otherness. It is that simple. We ourselves are strangers. Often even to ourselves… And while people have some kind of desperate desire to belong somewhere, as I see it, many people also have a perpetual desire to be outsiders.”

“Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.”

“We are not strangers to ourselves, we only try to be.”

“I do desire we may be better strangers.”

“Films are even stranger, for what we are seeing are not disguised people but photographs of disguised people, and yet we believe them while the film is being shown.”

“We cannot just give [our country] to complete strangers on an impulse because it makes us feel good about ourselves.”

“Tomorrow's some kind of Stranger I'm not supposed to see.”

“… sometimes one feels freer speaking to a stranger than to people one knows. Why is that?"
“Probably because a stranger sees us the way we are, not as he wishes to think we are.”

“The strangers we see in our dreams are not so strange after all, as they have existed in our past lives and only momentarily forgotten.”

“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”
