Stranger

Famous quotes containing the word stranger:

    I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land, and my home after all was down in de old cabin quarter, wid de ole folks, and my brudders and sisters. But to dis solemn resolution I came; I was free, and dey should be free also; I would make a home for dem in de North, and de Lord helping me, I would bring dem all dere.
    Harriet Tubman (c. 1820–1913)

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

    The eyes that drew from me such fervent praise,
    The arms and hands and feet and countenance
    Which made me a stranger in my own romance
    And set me apart from the well-trodden ways;
    Petrarch (1304–1374)
