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

The expected never happens; it is the unexpected always.

John Maynard Keynes

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

Norton Juster

If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

George Bernard Shaw

Moments of unexpected sweetness happen when romance enters, which always happens in songs - if just for a split second.

Dan Bejar

Regardless of your age, you will always have adventures, unexpected joys and unexpected sorrows.

Betty Friedan

It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. The tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens. When the unexpected does happen, however, and when it is of sufficiently grave import, the unfit perish. They do not see what is not obvious, are unable to do the unexpected, are incapable of adjusting their well-grooved lives to other and strange grooves. In short, when they come to the end of their own groove, they die.
