“Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell.
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger?
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?”

The Stranger.

“And what fastens attention, in the intercourse of life, like any passage betraying affection between two parties? Perhaps we never saw them before, and never shall meet them again. But we see them exchange a glance, or betray a deep emotion, and we are no longer strangers. We understand them, and take the warmest interest in the development of the romance. All mankind love a lover.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) American philosopher, essayist, and poet

“We are undercover passion on the run,
Chasing love up against the sun,
We are strangers by day, lovers by night,
Knowing it's so wrong but feeling so right.”

Stevie Wonder (1950) American musician

Part-Time Lover
Song lyrics, In Square Circle (1985)

“Soon we will be strangers. No, we can never be that. Hurting someone is an act of reluctant intimacy. We will be dangerous acquaintances with a history.”

“The image of ourselves in the minds of others is the picture of a stranger we shall never see.”

Elizabeth Bibesco (1897–1945) writer, actress; Romanian princess

Haven (1951)

“This was a strictly a one-nighter
to delight us
we both knew this must stay quiet
It was vital
we couldn't forget though
We never let go we just held on tighter
See I'm a lover not a fighter
so I didn't fight the fact that I more than liked you”
