Frequently Asked Questions

What's the tone of the "Strange" quotes collection?
Wide-ranging — from acting and performance, to astrophysics, to a wry philosophical one-liner, to a pointed real-world political statement.
Is there a quote about acting and personal identity?
Yes: "I think that's so strange, because they do know that we're all actors and we perform things that have not necessarily anything to do with us personally" — reflecting on the gap between performance and personal identity.
Is there a science-related quote here?
Yes, about astrophysics: "the strange properties of the pulsars and quasars, and perhaps also the gravitational waves, can be considered as a challenge" — using "strange" in the sense of scientifically puzzling. See Know quotes for more on the theme of understanding the unknown.
What's the short, quotable line about the world being strange?
"It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way" — a compact, almost mischievous embrace of oddity rather than a complaint about it.
Is there a politically charged quote in this collection?
One is a sharp, first-person statement responding to being simultaneously accused of terrorism and asked to help fight it: "It's very strange that you condemn me as a terrorist at the same time as you call on me to help you combat terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere. It doesn't make sense!"
