Today I've spent some time thinking how easily and deeply I get interested in other people. I can't resist the temptation to really know them, to find out who they are inside, their personality.
These quotes explain pretty good what I think and feel:
"Sometimes there are people who are complete strangers to us, in which, however, we begin to take an interest right from the very first glance, suddenly, before we have uttered a word".
“I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love's not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I'll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time...”
“I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, new love."
“I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.”
I think we should appreciate when other people are interested in us. We shouldn't push them away because nowadays there are not many people care about others and we often feel alone. So if someone good came to our life we should let him in.
