“Truth, of course, must of necessity be stranger than fiction, for we have made fiction to suit ourselves.” G. K. Chesterton, Heretics
“I do love nothing in the world so well as you. Is not that strange?” William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
“A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter.” Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One

“I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself any more. It’s hard to put it into words, but I guess it’s as if I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.” Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart
“I felt like I might as well have been living in another part of the solar system.” Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One
