About This Quote

In Ancient Greece, the Oracle of Delphi was a priestess who received visions from the god Apollo. The people of Delphi would come to the temple in order to receive answers from the Oracle. In modern times, a wise random stranger is a source of wisdom and information. They can be a source of information that is not easily found or researched.

The wise random stranger can be an expert in their field of expertise, such as a doctor or lawyer. Or they can simply be someone with an opinion on a topic that is not well-known to many people.
