What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expected generally happens.
1st Earl of Beaconsfield
Everything works out in weird ways in the NFL.
The future is a trickster rabbit, full of surprises. Only the past is predictable. -Bobby Goodspeed
Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.
Breakthroughs are by definition unpredicted events. Therefore predicting breakthroughs is a particularly difficult business.
Kevin's mind goes to extremely interesting places. Every time we get a script, I go, 'Oh my God, I really didn't see that coming'.
I hate to keep repeating my mantra, but, boy, there are things happening that we did not expect to happen in any way, shape, manner, or form.
We are living in a world in which developments are harder to predict and one that has become more uncertain. In such a world, you must be prepared for the unpredictable. Nobody predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall or the Arab Spring.
Some things are so unexpected that no one is prepared for them.
What's crazy about my life is that the biggest things that have happened just happen.
The big things are the things that you don't expect.
The years have been just full of surprises for me, and a lot of fun.
Sure enough, my life has been filled with some pretty interesting things every single day.
The things I thought would happen didn't. Things I never anticipated unfolded.
Originality finds the unexpected but inevitable next step.
It is an endless procession of surprises. The expected rarely occurs and never in the expected manner.
You never want your second act or the whole movie to just be this relentless march towards its goal. You want things to take the audience by surprise.
We can change in one day. We can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in one day.
I want to make it so that so many things happen... that you didn't expect would happen in this series, that you realize that you have to read every one of them.
In a perfect dream, things would be set exactly the way you would want them. But I think it's more interesting that in real life, things aren't exactly the way you planned.
The greatest thing about 'New Girl' is that you never can predict what is next!
The word 'however' is like an imp coiled beneath your chair. It induces ink to form words you have not yet seen, and lines to march across the page and overshoot the margin. There are no endings. If you think so you are deceived as to their nature. They are all beginnings. Here is one.
The things that you can't really foresee and that kind of surprise you, and a lot of times they are bad, but other times, they bring something different and new to the table.
