“Day 72


I remember oranges and you don’t mind me leaving the queue momentarily to find some. When you say, Of course, you reach for my arm in sympathy and recognition. This may be the thing that breaks me today, that stops me in my tracks before driving me forward, turning a corner, making something work, letting everything happen. When I return, you’re touching my yoghurts, reading the ingredients, as though you are making them yours, protecting them in my absence and amusing yourself with the cherry-ness of them. On days like this, I want to take my strangers home with me.”
Gemma Seltzer, Speak to Strangers

“Have more humility. Remember you don't know the limits of your own abilities. Successful or not, if you keep pushing beyond yourself, you will enrich your own life – and maybe even please a few strangers.”
A.L. Kennedy

Jennifer E. Smith, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

Simon Van Booy
“Love between strangers takes only a few seconds and can last a whole life.”
Simon Van Booy, Love Begins in Winter: Five Stories

“The most spectacular moment of my daily life is connection with a stranger by communication.”
Lailah Gifty Akita
