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)

“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)

“None of us know all the potentialities that slumber in the spirit of the population, or all the ways in which that population can surprise us when there is the right interplay of events.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
