"見知らぬ人よ、もしすれ違いざまに私に会って話したいと思うのなら、どうして話しかけないのですか？"
— Walt Whitman

Simplified Meaning:
If you walk past someone and feel like talking to them, go ahead and start a conversation. There’s no need to hold back or feel shy. Imagine you're at a bus stop and you see someone wearing a T-shirt of your favorite band. You can talk to them about the band and maybe even make a new friend. This idea is all about taking chances to connect with new people because you never know what interesting stories, friendships, or opportunities you might find. It's important to be open and approachable because it can lead to wonderful experiences and brighten both your day and theirs.
