I don't think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience's reaction is from another.

The designers usually don't like to say until we're on the runway. Like when I did Prada last year, I couldn't mention doing Prada or even Tweet or take a picture and put it on Twitter saying I was backstage at the Prada show. And Dolce was the same thing. They like to keep a little surprise, I guess, a little secret for everybody.

To learn is to incur surprise-I mean really learning, not just refreshing our memory or adding a new fact. And to invent is to bestow surprise-I mean really inventing, not just innovating what others have done.
John H. Lienhard

It doesn't matter to me if it has a surprise ending or not. I usually go for the material or the project.

Today Monopoly added a new game piece: the cat. The new piece was chosen after weeks of online voting. Is that a surprise? Whenever there's a vote for something on the Internet, the cat always wins.

I believe that, by and large, people are good and everybody you meet is more likely to surprise you in a positive way than in a negative way.

Are you conceding?' he says, his mouth falling open with mock surprise. 'Seems like that serum did you some good after all...' I shove him as hard as I can. 'Take that back. Take it back now.' 'Okay, okay!' He puts up his hands. 'It's just... I'm not very nice either, you know. That's why I like you so- ' 'Out!' I shout, pointing at the door.

In dreams we are true poets we create the persons of the drama we give them appropriate figures faces, costumes they are perfect in their organs, attitudes, manners moreover they speak after their own characters, not ours and we listen with surprise to what they say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love it when characters surprise you, just like real people. When I write a scene I just try to make the characters behave in a way that feels natural to them. Sometimes that means they make a left turn and do something unexpected. Those are always the best scenes in my opinion.
Brad Falchuk

I'm sorry I'm young, Deborah answered with a bitterness that was half prose. We have a right to be as crazy as anyone else. The second part was more a plea, and to her surprise the superbly inhuman fighter smiled softly and said, Yes ... I suppose that's true, though I never thought of it in those terms before.

... when demand is being destroyed by expensive oil just as expensive oil is incentivising increased production - it should come as no surprise that at some point the markets would react.

I'm looking for the surprises, you know, and the unexpected moments of technology, the unexpected moments of musical creation.

For me, it was a wonderful surprise because I saw wonderful actors being very professional working in front of me [on Chicken with Plums]. I finally understood what an actor is and what an actor does. On a daily basis, it's a bit repetitive.

Do not try to entrap others with your haughty knowledge. To your wide surprise, they will entrap you with their lengthy ignorance.

From a distance, it makes perfect sense that the people and the things you think will save you are the very ones that have the power to disappoint you most bitterly, but up close it can hit you as a bewildering surprise.
Tom Perrotta

You don't want to buy a surprise, because then the surprise is how awful it looks on you.
Nan Kempner

Clinging to any form of conservatism can be dangerous. Become too conservative and you are unprepared for surprises. You cannot depend on luck. Logic is blind and often knows only its own past. Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.
Frank Herbert

I think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed. Previously, the jokes were more related to current issues, political. Today people make about each other either funny or about people like Kim Kardashian. It's brutal. Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
Bette Midler

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.
Bill Bruford

All the times I have suddenly realized that my parents are dead, even now, it still surprises me, to exist in the world while that which made me has ceased to exist
Nicole Krauss

We can depend on the world being a perpetual surprise in perpetual motion.

You might ask yourself why you want to surprise your readers in the first place. A surprise ending is sort of like a surprise party. Probably some people, somewhere, enjoy having friends and trusted colleagues lunge at them in the sudden blinding light of their own living room, but I don't think most of us do.
Jincy Willett

Genuine bon mots surprise those from whose lips they fall, no less than they do those who listen to them.
Joseph Joubert

I was 15, not 14, when I was inside there [Auschwitz], 15, and for me both were actually a surprise.
