Expectation Quotes (page 35)

I'm not asking you for a second chance. I know better than that. But you've got no right to ask me to settle for sex then expect me to give up the one thing that's kept me going. I gave you up, now I'm taking what's left? Nora Roberts
So help me God it gets more and more preposterous, it corresponds less and less to what I remember and what I expect as if the force of live were centrifugal and threw one further and further away from one's purest memories and ambitions... John Cheever
The yoke is naturally and necessarily humiliating to all persons, except the one who is on the throne, together with, at most, the one who expects to succeed to it. John Stuart Mill
An expectation was there...You're optimistic one moment only to be wracked the next by the surety that it will all fall to pieces. And in the end it does. Haruki Murakami
If I fall asleep, it is because I am overloaded. I sleep because one hour with Henry contains five years of my life, and one phrase, one caress answers the expectations of a hundred nights. When I hear him laugh, I say, "I have heard Rabelais.". And I swallow his laughter like bread and wine. Anais Nin

Provoke the unexpected. Expect it. Robert Bresson
Let us admit, without bitterness, that the individual has his distinct interests and can, without felony, stipulate for those interests and defend them. The present has its pardonable amount of egotism; momentary life has its claims, and cannot be expected to sacrifice itself incessantly to the future. The generation which is in its turn passing over the earth is not forced to abridge its life for the sake of the generations, its equals after all, whose turn shall come later on. Victor Hugo
Margaret Mitchell quote: "Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take..."
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it's no worse than it is. Margaret Mitchell
I am older than you. Believe me, there is no other way to live on earth. Men are not open to truth or reason. They cannot be reached by a rational argument. The mind is powerless against them. Yet we have to deal with them. If we want to accomplish anything, we have to deceive them into letting us accomplish it. Or force them. They understand nothing else. We cannot expect their support for any endeavor of the intellect, for any goal of the spirit. They are nothing but vicious animals. They... Ayn Rand
We’re going to get a couple pretty, fluffy inches in the morning for a gorgeous December evening wedding. Go get ready for rehearsal.” “I’m afraid of rehearsal. My voice is going to squeak. I think I’m getting a zit right in the middle of my chin. I’m going to trip coming down the aisle. It’s okay if Carter trips. People expect it. But –” … “Carter isn’t nervous. “Mac narrowed her eyes in a scowl. “I could hate him for that.” “Mackensie.” Parker turned from the computer. “I was in the... Nora Roberts

If the heroine of one novel be not patronized by the heroine of another, from whom can she expect protection and regard? Jane Austen
Langston Hughes quote: "Gather up In the arms of your love—Those who expect No love..."
Gather up In the arms of your love—Those who expect No love from above. Langston Hughes
John Ruskin quote: "When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece."
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. John Ruskin
The mind, it occurs to me, is an engine. There is an ambient mode in which the mind sits idling, before there is information. Some minds idle in a kind of dreading crouch, waiting to be offended. Others stand up straight, eyes slightly wide, expecting to be pleasantly surprised. Some minds, imaging the great What Is Out There, imagine it intends doom for them; others imagine there is something out there that may be suffering and in need of their help. Which is right? Neither. Both. Maybe... George Saunders
Richard Russo quote: "To expect reason is where the fallacy lies."
