The above quote was made by Tomas Elemans who at the time of the quote worked for PVH as the brand protection Manager. He believes that Storytelling (literature) helps us to empathize with the condition of strangers. This is what is meant by the above quote: "<em>Literature </em><em>has a way of reminding us that the stranger is not so strange".</em>

<em />

<h3>How, according to Tomas Elemans does literature help us to connect with the stranger?</h3>

<em />

Again we turn to Elemans own words. He states that when we read of and imagine being the characters in stories, it helps us <em>transcend the here-and -now</em> thus reducing the focus on our ego or feeling of self-importance while improving our reflection. He says that fiction helps us to disconnect from ourselves and access our <em>emotional</em>, <em>empathetic </em>nature which we often neglect in our daily lives.

Most important lines in the book Until I find you by Rea Frey
EastWind [94]

Answer:

“We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours.”

― Rea Frey

“I made constant deals with myself, as though these deals would culminate in some life-changing event: If there are five babies on the plane, it won’t crash. If I just say yes to this client, I’ll get into Forbes. If the light turns green when I count to three, I won’t complain for the rest of the day. If I don’t eat dessert today, I can have Mexican tomorrow.”

― Rea Frey, Not Her Daughter

“I’ve always been good at keeping secrets—other people’s secrets, friends’ secrets, family secrets, strangers’ secrets. But I’m even better at creating secrets. No one ever guesses them … even if I beg them to try.”

― Rea Frey
