Quotes by Francesca Hayward

Is it a surprise that into the vessel, in which the mercury has no inclination and no repugnance, not even the slightest, to being there, it should enter and should rise in a column high enough to make equilibrium with the weight of the external air which forces it up?

Quotes by Evangelista Torricelli

To my surprise, the more I searched about Qi Xiangfu, the more I found of a life lived partly online. He once wrote a short memoir in which he described himself in the third person, with the formality usually reserved for China's most famous writers.

Quotes by Evan Osnos

Pope Benedict XVI's resignation is big on buzz but is not the stunning surprise claimed by many pundits. It is rather a further example of the German theology professor's style that informed his years as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, his term as pope, and the formation of his legacy to the church.

Quotes by Eugene Kennedy

To be honest, it was a little bit of a surprise to me that my Broadway debut was a musical.

Quotes by Eric Cantona

The characters in a novel are made up, figments of the writer's imagination. I'm sure this won't come as a surprise to anyone, and it's not surprising to me either, but knowing this, feeling this, definitely made writing my second book harder.

Quotes by Emma Healey

The individual can maintain himself in a society definitely organized only through possessing an equally definite mental and moral constitution. This is what the neuropath lacks. His state of disturbance causes him to be constantly taken by surprise by circumstances.

Quotes by Emile Durkheim

Quotes by Ehren Kruger

I think my first thought on reaching the summit- of course, I was very, very pleased to be there, naturally - but my first thought was one of a little bit of surprise. I was a little bit surprised that here I was, Ed Hillary, on top of Mt. Everest. After all, this is the ambition of most mountaineers.

Quotes by Edmund Hillary

It is hard for anyone who discovers George Washington not to write about him, perhaps because he is so hard to discover and such a surprise when you do.

Quotes by Edmund Morgan

Quotes by Ed Greenwood

Quotes by Donella Meadows

When we think about big records, a lot of producers are thinking of how to make it as standard as possible. I think those days are gone. I think you have to surprise the audience in 2015.

Quotes by Diplo

I don't think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience's reaction is from another.

Quotes by Dick Cavett

Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves.

Quotes by Debbie Millman

Quotes by Dean Ambrose

Quotes by David Morrissey

The great thing about being an actor is things happen to you very quickly. I like to put myself in the way of surprise.

Quotes by David Morrissey

So much of television is incredibly predictable. You watch the first five minutes and you know where it's going to go. If you can just create an element of surprise in both the storytelling and tone of a show, you're going to be way ahead of the pack.

Quotes by David Nevins

I've been acting for 27 years, and anonymity has always been a part of what I do. Of course you get recognised every now and again, but 'Homeland' pushed me into a completely different strata, and that took me by surprise.

Quotes by David Harewood

Carry yourself like a champion now so when you get there, it's not a surprise.

Quotes by David Fizdale

It's no surprise that hackers working for North Korea, Iran's mullahs, Vladimir V. Putin in Russia, and the People's Liberation Army of China have all learned that the great advantage of cyberweapons is that they are the opposite of a nuke: hard to detect, easy to deny, and increasingly finely targeted.

Quotes by David Carson

Quotes by David Andrew Sinclair

I really like it when you can step outside of what's come before and find a surprise for the reader and find a surprise for yourself.

Quotes by Dave Gibbons

There is no such thing as an average person. They really are guidelines for people to grapple with the unknown, and we can always surprise expectations.

Quotes by Daniel Tammet

Quotes by Daniel Yergin

How powerful it is to surprise a total stranger with a really nice act: buy them a cup of coffee, pay their toll. It makes their day; it makes your day.

Quotes by Daniel Lubetzky

Every time something happens, whether I've won the most or lost the most, there's always 'oldest' tied to it. It's not a surprise anymore.

Quotes by Daniel Nestor

Quotes by Daniel Inouye

Washington was taken by surprise by the Egyptian revolution because policy experts focused too much on Mubarak and his government, and too little on the 'voice of the people.'

Quotes by Cynthia P. Schneider

Quotes by Condoleezza Rice

President Lyndon Johnson was very, very unpredictable. We never knew for sure what he is going to do next, and he preferred to have it that way; if he could do something as a complete surprise, that was his preference.

Quotes by Clint Hill

I want to be able to still surprise myself, even shock myself, whether it be sexual content, whether it be about the theological content, whatever. I want to be able to knock myself sideways. Otherwise, what a waste of a life that would be.

Quotes by Clive Barker

I've made movies that we're very successful that we're a complete surprise, and I've made movies that I thought we're going to be very successful that, you know.

Quotes by Christopher Walken

Quotes by Christopher Lee

Quotes by Christine Tsai

Quotes by Christian Louboutin

Quotes by Chris Meledandri

A laugh is a surprise. And all humor is physical. I was always athletic, so that came naturally to me.

Quotes by Bryan Fuller

Comedy is surprise. Comedy is not something that you can, necessarily, do twice.

Quotes by Bryan Callen

The key here is that with planning, you can take advantage of opportunities, where without this planning, you may just watch them pass you by. Like knowing that a key potential customer may be at a conference and putting together a pitch just in case you run into them - or being caught by surprise with nothing coherent to say.

Quotes by Bruce Pittman

People tend to play in their comfort zone, so the best things are achieved in a state of surprise, actually.

Quotes by Brad Paisley

Surprise is important. I think that's the essence of entertainment, really.

Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.

Quotes by Boris Pasternak

Quotes by Billy Graham

The terrorist uses surprise and stealth, and the only way to defeat that is by having accurate and timely intelligence.

Quotes by Bill Nelson

It may be no surprise that Pittsburgh has direct flights to London, Paris and Frankfurt, but consider this: many of the tourists here have come from Europe to the capital of culture in the Alleghenies.

Quotes by Bill Dedman

The audience today has heard every joke. They know every plot. They know where you're going before you even start. That's a tough audience to surprise, and a tough audience to write for. It's much more competitive now, because the audience is so much more - I want to say 'sophisticated.'

Quotes by Betty White

I honestly have no strategy whatsoever. I'm waiting for that script to pop through the letterbox and completely surprise me.

Quotes by Ben Kingsley

Quotes by Beeban Kidron

Quotes by Barbara Kopple

The success of the storytellers - we're only as good as what we can withhold from the audience. Aspects of surprise and letting things play out for the audience - it's so much a part of their enjoyment. It's one of the great things about working in the movies and being a great storyteller.

Quotes by B. D. Wong
