Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.

Norton Juster

Sometimes the unexpected happens when you don't expect a person to come up to expectations.

Evan Esar

It never happens in Europe, and I'm not sure how often it happens here in Australia, but in Hawaii and all over the United States nobody knows what a fast lane is.

Garrett McNamara

There is another point that I think is as important: You should expect the unexpected in this business; expect the extreme. Don’t think in terms of boundaries that limit what the market might do. If there is any lesson I have learned in the nearly twenty years that I’ve been in this business, it is that the unexpected and the impossible happen every now and then

Richard Dennis

Nothing to me is unexpected. No disappointment is unexpected - whether it's movies or people or relationships. I'm always ready for the punch directly between the eyes. So I get hurt, but I never get hurt. Happens all the time.

Brian Grazer

Expect the unexpected, my mother once said. Because the unexpected most certainly will be expecting you.

If we do not expect the unexpected, we will never find it.

Heraclitus

No matter what, expect the unexpected. And whenever possible BE the unexpected.

Lynda Barry

Remember, how often the great art of the past didn't look great at first, how often it didn't look like art at all; how much easier it is, decades or centuries later, to adore it, not only because it is, in fact, great but because it's still here; because the inevitable little errors and infelicities tend to recede in an object that's survived the War of 1812, the eruption of Krakatoa, the rise and fall of Nazism.

Michael Cunningham

The expected never happens; it is the unexpected always.

John Maynard Keynes

I never expect anything; I just go make a movie. I do the best I can, and whatever happens, happens.

Steve Zahn

Don't look back, never look back. How often do people tell themselves that after an experience that is exceptionally good (or exceptionally bad?)? Often, I suppose. And the advice usually goes unheeded. Humans were built to look back; that's why we have tat swivel joint in our necks.

Stephen King

In Ireland the inevitable never happens and the unexpected constantly occurs.

John Pentland Mahaffy

The ocean is a supreme metaphor for change. I expect the unexpected but am never fully prepared.

Tim Winton

From our limited vantage point, our lives are marked by an endless series of contingencies. We frequently find ourselves, instead of acting as we planned, reacting to an unexpected turn of events. We make plans but are often forced to change those plans. But there are no contingencies with God. Our unexpected, forced change of plans is a part of His plan. God is never surprised; never caught off guard; never frustrated by unexpected developments. God does as He pleases and that which pleases Him is always for His glory and our good.
