My rule in making up examination questions is to ask questions which I can't myself answer. It astounds me to see how some of my students answer questions which would play the deuce with me.
Henry Adams

It astounds us to come upon other egoists, as though we alone had the right to be selfish, and to be filled with eagerness to live.
Jules Renard

I think he [Raul] is the greatest player to have ever played the game. He walks on the turf and astounds. It is utterly amazing.
