About This Quote
When we gaze into the face of a stranger, we are instantly reminded of their humanity. To gaze into another person’s face is to do two things: to recognise their humanity and to assert your own. It is a very powerful moment that causes us to remember our own humanity. We cannot help but wonder what lies behind those eyes, who they are, and why they are so different from ourselves.
