Stranger

Famous quotes containing the word stranger:

“I knew very well that this hope was chimerical. I was like a pauper who mingles fewer tears with his dry bread if he tells himself that at any moment a stranger will bequeath to him his fortune. We must all, in order to make reality more tolerable, keep alive in us a few little follies.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“Robert Whitmore
died of apoplexy
when a stranger from Georgia
mistook him
for a former Macon waiter.”
—Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)

“One cannot serve this Eros without becoming a stranger in society as it is today; one cannot commit oneself to this form of love without incurring a mortal wound.”
—Klaus Mann (1906–1949)
