“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”
“. . .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.”
“We were as strangers, in the moment-as intimate as strangers-for strangers know more of us, and can judge of us more without reproach than ever those we love.”
“In some ways we were more remote than strangers because strangers at least have the possibility of yet unmade connections.”
“They say 'truth is stranger than fiction,' but I like to say fiction is truth - only stranger.”
“The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.”
