About This Quote
Who has not felt a strange affinity for a friend or a stranger or a total stranger? There is no denying that we have all been strongly drawn to others. In fact, the strongest of bonds have been formed between us and those we have never met. In other words, our emotional reactions are often determined by outside forces. In Shakespeare’s time, the idea that external forces could affect us was not so strange. They did not know yet how sensitive thoughts were to outside forces.
