“Humor is a spontaneous, wonderful bit of an outburst that just comes. It's unbridled, it's unplanned, it's full of surprises.”
Erma Bombeck
“The secret to humor is surprise.”
Aristotle
“The husband who decides to surprise his wife is often very much surprised himself.”
Voltaire
“A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Everybody keeps telling me how surprised they are with what I've done. But I'm telling you honestly that it doesn't surprise me. I knew I could do it.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There are truths that are singularly shy and ticklish and cannot be caught except suddenly -- that must be surprised or left alone.”
“And I'm always surprised at who's there when you fail, ... It's usually not the people you expect to be there. It's easy to have friends when you're winning. And Jerry Maguire was kind of about that. This was about that, but it's like success and failure get trumped by an even bigger issue, which is, 'Are you going to be truly alive, and do you even know what that is?' ”
Cameron Crowe
