Surprise

Famous quotes containing the word surprise:

“The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done;
The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won;
He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day,
In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play.”
—Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)

“What we were after now was the old surprise visit. That was a real kick, good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolence.”
