Famous quotes containing the words october, surprise and/or conspiracy:
“Especially when the October wind

“It’s such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see,
That though the English are effete
They’re quite impervious to heat.”
—Noël Coward (1899–1973)
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
