i just haven t met you yet แปล: คุณกำลังดูกระทู้
William Butler Yeats? Will Rogers? Edgar Guest? Margaret Lee Runbeck? Dorothy C. Wegner? Roberta Lieberman? Mitch Albom? Anonymous?
Dear Quote Investigator: The Nobel Prize winning Irish poet William Butler Yeats often receives credit for the following sentiment:
There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t yet met.
Is this ascription accurate?
Quote Investigator: QI has been unable to find substantive support for the linkage to Yeats. The popular poet Edgar Guest included a similar statement in a widely distributed 1915 poem called “Faith”. Here are the first two verses. Emphasis added to excerpts by QI:
I believe in the world and its bigness and splendor,
That most of the hearts beating round us are tender;
That days are but footsteps and years are but miles
That lead us to beauty and singing and smiles;
That roses that blossom and toilers that plod
Are filled with the glorious spirit of God.I believe in the purpose of everything living,
That taking is but the forerunner of giving;
That strangers are friends that we some day may meet,
And not all the bitter can equal the sweet;
That creeds are but colors, and no man has said
That God loves the yellow rose more than the red.
The Davenport Democrat” of Iowa and other newspapers reprinted Guest’s work with an acknowledgement to “The Detroit Free Press” of Michigan.
QI conjectures that the quotation evolved from the line written by Guest.
Below are additional selected citations in chronological order.
In 1919 Guest included a thematic match in the poem “The Unknown Friends” Here are the beginning lines:
We cannot count our friends, nor say
How many praise us day by day.
Each one of us has friends that he
Has yet to meet and really know,
Who guard him, wheresoe’er they be,
From harm and slander’s cruel blow.
They help to light our path with cheer,
Although they pass as strangers here.
In October 1941 “The Park Record” of Park City, Utah published a column called “Stroller Notices” containing a miscellaneous collection comments and sayings. One statement without attribution echoed Guest’s line from 1915:
That strangers are just friends you haven’t met up with yet.
In November 1941 “The Postville Herald” of Postville, Iowa printed the following anonymous filler item:
Strangers are just friends you haven’t met up with yet.
In 1942 an advertisement for a book about a child appeared in several newspapers including ‘The New York Times” and the “Chicago Tribune”. The motto of the child matched the statement under analysis:
This Little Girl Will Capture Your Heart
Our Miss Boo by Margaret Lee Runbeck“Strangers are just good friends that you haven’t met yet,” claims Miss Boo and she ought to know because she has made thousands of good friends from total strangers.
In 1943 a columnist in Hamilton, Ohio misspelled the name “Runbeck” and ascribed an altered version of the saying to “Reinbeck”:
“Strangers are just your friends that you don’t know yet.”
M. LEE REINBECK
(“Our Miss Boo.”)
In 1951 a newspaper in Santa Fe, New Mexico reported on a meeting of the Women’s Association of the First Presbyterian church. The guest speaker Dorothy C. Wegner described her experiences in China, and she employed a version with the key phrase “there are no strangers”:
She said that in Christian fellowship, “there are no strangers, only friends who haven’t met.”
In 1955 a columnist in “The Christian Science Monitor” shared an anecdote about the daughter and son of a friend:
“I don’t want to go,” Melissa had said one day about a place her parents wanted to visit. “There are too many strangers there.” And Johnny said, “Don’t let that stop you. Strangers are just the friends you haven’t yet made.”
That’s as good an introduction to Asia as you could find. Let me reword it so neither you nor I can forget: “Strangers are the friends you haven’t yet made.”
Also in 1955 an article in a Fremont, Ohio newspaper mentioned the saying while describing a dance hosted by the Welcome Wagon organization:
. . . . we hear the event was quite a gala occasion for having fun and getting acquainted—theme of the Welcome Wagon “there are no strangers only friends who have never met” being appropriately carried out.
In 1958 a South Carolina newspaper asserted that another newspaper prominently displayed an instance of the saying:
Perhaps we can’t get as close as the masthead of a North Dakota newspaper implies, but we could improve the feeling. The New Rockford (N.D.) Transcript has this line under its page one masthead: “North Dakota has no strangers; only friends who haven’t met.”
In 1961 the Irish Tourist Office published an advertisement in “The New Yorker” magazine that included the saying. No attribution was given:
You’ll love the theatre, the music, the magnificent conversation. You’ll find no language barrier and no strangers—only friends you haven’t met as yet.
Also, in 1961 the long-running “Chicago Tribune” column “In the WAKE of the NEWS” printed a variant:
Could Be
A stranger is just a friend you ain’t met yet.
—The Uneducated Philosopher
In 1962 “Time” magazine connected the expression to Enzo Stuarti, an Italian musical theater performer:
Stuarti wraps up all this dolcezza in what he calls his “there are no strangers, only friends I haven’t met” approach.
In 1963 the advertising campaign of the Irish Tourist Office continued in the pages of “The New Yorker”:
There is no language barrier to hurdle. There are no strangers here either . . . only friends you haven’t met as yet. Will you come over now, and stay a bit?
In 1996 the bestselling writer Mark Victor Hansen and his co-authors implausibly linked the saying to the well-known humorist Will Rogers:
“Strangers are just friends I haven’t met yet,” said Will Rogers. How many of us really believe this? Most of us are afraid, in our age of violence and street crime, to look at another person, much less look into the eyes of a stranger and call him friend.
In 1997 the “Reader’s Digest Quotable Quotes” credited the saying to another person without a citation:
Strangers are friends that you have yet to meet.
—ROBERTA LIEBERMAN
Also in 1997 a message posted to the Usenet newsgroup alt.home.repair attributed the saying to the famous poet William Butler Yeats without citation:
There are no strangers here,
Only friends who have not yet met.
W.B. Yeats
Mitch Albom included a variant in his top-selling 2003 novel “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”:
“Strangers,” the Blue Man said, “are just family you have yet to come to know.”
In conclusion, in 1915 the poet Edgar Guest included a similar remark in his poem “Faith”. QI hypothesizes that the modern saying was derived in a multi-step process from Guest’s statement although it is possible that it was developed independently. The attribution to William Butler Yeats is unsupported. The advertising campaign by the Irish Tourist Office in the 1960s established a strong connection to the island and that may have facilitated an error linking the expression to one of Ireland’s top writers.
(Special thanks to Jeffrey at the Freakonomics website whose question provided the initial motivation for QI. Great thanks to Samuel West and Sara O’Leary whose inquiry led QI to reactivate this exploration. Also thanks to “The Nostromo” and the discussants in the Quoteland.com forum. “The Nostromo” pointed to the 1919 citation.)

Great concept, disappointing execution.

But I picked this one up because of the intriguing premise: an algorithm that can analyse the browsing habits of everyone across the globe who’s connected to the Internet, and tell you who your soulmate is! Unfortunately the book didn’t deliver on its premise, with missteps in both its characters and plot.

Great concept, disappointing execution.
I don’t usually read chick lit. But I picked this one up because of the intriguing premise: an algorithm that can analyse the browsing habits of everyone across the globe who’s connected to the Internet, and tell you who your soulmate is! Unfortunately the book didn’t deliver on its premise, with missteps in both its characters and plot.
Flora is such a stereotype. Imagine how dull she’d be if she were a love interest: handsome, rich, successful, sophisticated, always smells great, keeps telling the protagonist how in love with her he is even though they’ve done nothing more than share a few meals and talk about movies they both like, and when he finally descends out of his ultra-rich London bubble to the protagonist’s ordinary hometown of Norwich, the protagonist actually thinks he seems as out-of-place as a “unicorn”! It’s as though just because she’s a woman, that automatically makes her a “rounded” character.
I’d like to contrast her with Adam, a character whom people in-universe find dull, yet whom I actually find much more relatable than Flora. No matter how many times Percy bemoans his sensible-ness and boring-ness, he, unlike Flora, has flaws and quirks. He gets upset when someone messes up his precious knitwear. He doesn’t consider that his girlfriend might not want to travel to the same place as they did last year for their summer holiday, because he himself thinks that would be wonderful. He gets confused and not particularly aroused when his girlfriend dresses up as a “sexy” lollipop lady. He shouts at Percy because he can’t understand why her reason for dumping him is that “red doesn’t suit everyone”. In short, he is human. Has Flora ever disagreed with Percy or done anything less than perfect, apart from the time they broke up? I honestly could not understand why both of them got so invested in their relationship; each kept telling the other how compatible she felt, but I didn’t feel it.
Milo is another waste of a character. Make a named major male character pop up in the first half of your story, and keep letting him show up despite having no apparent plot relevance. How obvious is it that he will have a big role by the story’s end? When Percy got her second chance at using SoulDate, I predicted that the man would be either Milo or Adam. I was wrong, but she still ended up with Milo at the end, so I wasn’t that far off.
This is a good juncture to talk about how disappointed I was with the ending. I literally came up with a list of endings which I would have preferred to the real one:
1. Percy ends up with Flora. She realises that sexuality really is fluid, or at least that her spiritual attraction to Flora is stronger than her lack of sexual attraction. Although I wouldn’t support two women dating in real life, I was hoping for that to happen because how often do we see a bisexual protagonist in chick lit? I would like to hear Percy’s musings on how dating a woman differs from dating a man – we got some of that when she noted that Flora, as a woman, would know how much effort goes into “no-effort” makeup.
2. SoulDate calls Percy to apologise because the algorithm has made a mistake: Percy isn’t really Flora’s soulmate. Percy is stunned because she and Flora have already become so close. She realises that what another character (I forget which) had earlier asked is true: what if Percy is attracted to Flora only because she already believes that Flora is her soulmate? Now that Percy realises the power of self-fulfilling prophecy, she resolves to put her best efforts into future relationships instead of holding back because she’s afraid it won’t work out.
3. SoulDate’s second match for Percy is… (drumroll) Adam, her original boyfriend! Percy realises how foolish she’s been for blindly following an algorithm’s recommendations: dumping and then getting back together with the same boyfriend just because it said so. She and Adam work to communicate more effectively about their differing preferences for adventure and excitement, and they live happily ever after.
4. Percy stays happily single. By the end she’s made her fantasy hobbies from the start of the book real, all by herself, and realises she doesn’t need a man to make her life complete.
Any of these endings would have said something interesting and important about the themes of love, relationships and technology. Instead we got a cookie-cutter ending – after abruptly dumping her boyfriend and repeatedly lying to a woman she dated, our protagonist finds a new guy and lives happily ever after. Can we see more consequences for the way she treated Adam and Flora? I am glad she feels guilty (about Flora at least), and I am glad they were magnanimous enough to forgive her, but in the real world our actions can hurt more than just their direct victims, and can have wide-ranging consequences. What if Milo needed to distance himself from her for a while after the revelation that she’s the woman who’s been treating his sister like dirt? What if Adam married his new girlfriend and all Norwich celebrated their wedding, and kept asking Percy why she let him go? Let’s see her uncomfortable, let’s see her own up to her mistakes.
Finally, I want to criticise not just the book but its underlying worldview: that an algorithm capable of determining the most compatible person with you in the world would be a wonderful thing to have. I believe that most people picking up this book would share this worldview. I don’t. I believe that the amount of work both parties put into the relationship is far more important than the compatibility of their personalities. Better a relationship with someone you’re sort-of compatible with, where both parties commit to communicating honestly and putting the other’s needs before their own, than a relationship with your “soulmate” where both parties think that now that they’ve found The One, there will be no more conflicts and they don’t need to put any more effort into maintaining the relationship. I was surprised that out of all the objections various characters raised to the algorithm, no one mentioned this obvious point: relationships need effort, not just compatibility.
1.5 stars – 1 star for the inventive premise and 0.5 stars for keeping me turning the pages to find out the ending, but no higher for failing to make either the premise or the ending worthwhile.

Lyrics:
3am and I’m still awake
I bet you’re just fine, fast asleep in your city
That’s better than mine
And the girl in your bed has a fine pedigree
And I’ll bet your friends tell you she’s better than me
Huh
Well I tried to fit in with your uppercrust circles
Yeah, they let me sit in back when we were in love
Oh they sit around talking ‘bout the meaning of life
And the book that just saved ‘em that I hadn’t heard of
But now that we’re done and it’s over
I bet you couldn’t believe
When you realized I’m harder to forget
Than I was to leave
And I bet you think about me
You grew up in a silver spoon gated community
Glamorous shiny bright Beverly Hills
I was raised on a farm, no it wasn’t a mansion
Just living room dancing and kitchen table bills
But you know what they say
You can’t help who you fall for
And you and I fell like an early spring snow
But reality crept in, you said we’re too different
You laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokes
Mr. Superior Thinking
Do you have all the space that you need?
I don’t have to be your shrink to know that
You’ll never be happy
And I bet you think about me
I bet you think about me, yes, I bet
You think about me
Oh, block it all out
The voices so loud saying
Why did you let her go
Does it make you feel sad
That the love that you’re looking for
Is the love that you had
Now you’re out in the world, searching for your soul
Scared not to be hip, scared to get old
Chasing makebelieve status
Last time you felt free was when none of that shit mattered
Cause you were with me
But now that we’re done and it’s over
I bet it’s hard to believe
But it turned out I’m harder to forget
Than I was to leave
And, yeah, I bet you think about me
I bet you think about me, yes
I bet you think about me
I bet you think about me when you’re out
At your cool indie music concerts every week
I bet you think about me in your house
With your organic shoes and your million dollar couch
I bet you think about me when you say “oh my god
She’s insane, she wrote a song about me”
I bet you think about me
