The People We Never Meet

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

I've often wondered about who the strangers we meet really are. This man

Quote Of The Day:

"Not until you become a stranger to yourself will

you be able to make acquaintance with the friend."

~ Mark Twain

50 Word Story:

She wanted to know who he was. But she couldn't, for society marked him as a

complete stranger.
