We don't have a farm-to-table food safety system. I keep saying this. It came as a big surprise to the FDA that tomatoes were being grown in the United States, sent to Mexico for packing, and then sent back. I mean, they had no idea that our food chain worked like this. ~ Marion Nestle
Big Surprises quotes by Marion Nestle
I stood on Susan Boone's front porch, feeling lame. But then, since I've pretty much felt lame my entire life, this was no big surprise. On the other hand, usually I felt lame for no particular reason. This time I really had a reason to feel lame. ~ Meg Cabot
Big Surprises quotes by Meg Cabot
The monotony of staying in one place is the best thing for writing a novel. Having regular habits, a kind of security, but especially no big surprises, no shocks. ~ Paul Theroux
Big Surprises quotes by Paul Theroux
Some say, 'Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.' I say, 'Those who ignore history are in for a big surprise.' ~ Stephen Colbert
Big Surprises quotes by Stephen Colbert
Generally my typical books have lots of twists and turns a big surprise ending and then usually another surprise at the end and ideally, as in Garden of Beasts, we get to the very end and we find at the last few pages that there's yet another surprise. ~ Jeffery Deaver
Big Surprises quotes by Jeffery Deaver
I get them [auditions] from time to time, and I sometimes get auditions for big dramas, and I often think, well, I'm not going to get that part. This was a big surprise - it was The X-Files. ~ Rhys Darby
Big Surprises quotes by Rhys Darby
Fiction demands structures and recognizable shapes. Big surprises only draw attention to the writer's hand. ~ Steven Amsterdam
Big Surprises quotes by Steven Amsterdam
The fantastic breaks the crust of appearance ... something grabs us by the shoulders to throw us outside ourselves. I have always known that the big surprises await us where we have learned to be surprised by nothing, that is, where we are not shocked by ruptures in the order. ~ Julio Cortazar
Big Surprises quotes by Julio Cortazar
Everybody always asks me what the big surprises were that I discovered about Woody and I never have a good stock answer for that, I never know quite what to tell them other than generally that he's much less neurotic and quirky than I would have expected. ~ Robert B. Weide
Big Surprises quotes by Robert B. Weide
She's a surprise this old earth, one big surprise after another since before she separated from the moon who circles and circles like the mate of a shot goose. ~ Peter Heller
Big Surprises quotes by Peter Heller
This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me. ~ Banksy
Big Surprises quotes by Banksy
I feel like he's the ocean and I've fallen in and the waves are too big; like I'm in over my head. I'm not even sure which way is up anymore. ~ Anonymous
Big Surprises quotes by Anonymous
The Democrats' agenda isn't working for women. Their vision has produced big government and limited opportunity. Our vision is for limited government and opportunity for all. Women deserve better than what President Obama has delivered. ~ Reince Priebus
Big Surprises quotes by Reince Priebus
Someone who is said to have a big ego is thought to be full of themselves, to lack the ability to listen, to always rush to be at the top of the tree and to think their own ideas are the best. ~ Gyalwa Dokhampa
Big Surprises quotes by Gyalwa Dokhampa
I'm not big on reading business books. I get copies of all of them, because people want me to put a comment on the jacket. Every once in a while, I'll get interested and read one all the way through. ~ James Goodnight
Big Surprises quotes by James Goodnight
Out in the country it was not uncommon to discover that she had slipped away, alone, out to the lake, maybe, or down to the cellar, where once I found her sitting in the big marooned sleigh, reading, her fur coat thrown over her knees. Things would have been terrible strange and unbalanced without her. She was the Queen who finished out the suit of dark Jacks, dark King, and Joker. ~ Donna Tartt
Big Surprises quotes by Donna Tartt
Relax, Xander. It's only two lines."
He closed his eyes and leaned into her, his arms wrapping her back. "But it's still lines in a real film, and if I mess it up-"
"They'll have you do it again. And again... and again." Liv laughed. "No big deal. Life is full of second chances. ~ Danika Stone
Big Surprises quotes by Danika Stone
Get Up is basically the book I wanted to have my first year of sobriety. I wish someone had given me this book a year before I even went to a meeting because I was already miserable. I didn't enjoy drinking anymore, I just couldn't stand the idea of not doing it. I was afraid if I got sober I wouldn't be able to write anymore. That was a really big fear of mine, which turned out not to be true. ~ Bucky Sinister
Big Surprises quotes by Bucky Sinister
I was going back and reading Marconi's last book again, and there's this part that
always gets me. He points out that the amount of the universe a human can experience is
statistically, like, zero percent. You've got this huge universe, trillions of trillions of miles of empty
space between galaxies, and all a human can perceive is a little tunnel a few feet wide and a few feet
long in front of our eyes. So he says we don't really live in the universe at all, we live inside our
brains. All we can see is like a blurry little pinhole in a blindfold, and the rest is filled in by our
imagination. So whatever we think of the world, whether you think the world is cruel or good or
cold or hot or wet or dry or big or small, that comes entirely from inside your head and nowhere
else. ~ David Wong
Big Surprises quotes by David Wong
Oh, yeah. I got big plans". He swallowed twice from the bottle.
Any planning in a bottle is short, thought Stamp. ~ Toni Morrison
Big Surprises quotes by Toni Morrison
All of our presidents come into office looking so vigorous ... They grow grayer and grayer, and by the time they leave, they're as white as the building they live in ... I have one big advantage: I've been coloring my hair for years. So you're not going to see me turn white in the White House. ~ Hillary Clinton
Big Surprises quotes by Hillary Clinton
He loved the energy of the place, though he barely ever visited without getting shoved around or having his pockets picked. The slam of the city, the assault of neon and electric light, the roiling mass of people, made up of mixed elements: sailors, tourists, cops, hookers, hustlers and dealers. He wandered through the crowds, fascinated; a skinny boy with big teeth and glasses, his ribs sticking out. At the same time he was drawn to quieter, more inward pursuits. He liked to draw, liked going to the movies on his own or wandering round the dioramas in the Natural History Museum; the dusty smell, the long unpopulated corridors. ~ Olivia Laing
Big Surprises quotes by Olivia Laing
It has always been difficult to get Big Bird to be very pretty. Big Bird in England is much more gorgeous. ~ Jim Henson
Big Surprises quotes by Jim Henson
There's no longevity, living off of negativity. ~ Big Pun
Big Surprises quotes by Big Pun
I wrote 'Lights' a long, long time ago. And I expected it to be on the album, because it was - I wrote it with 'Biff' Stannard. And he wrote every single Spice Girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. So I thought, you know, I was really lucky to work with him, but I didn't think it would be a big song for some reason. ~ Ellie Goulding
Big Surprises quotes by Ellie Goulding
Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional.
Let this be a sign that you've got a big heart and aren't afraid to let others see it.
Showing your emotions is a sign of strength. ~ Brigitte Nicole
Big Surprises quotes by Brigitte Nicole
It always disappointed me when mortals put themselves first and failed to see the big picture - the importance of putting me first ~ Rick Riordan
Big Surprises quotes by Rick Riordan
As I brush my long, brown hair, the girl in the mirror with blue eyes too big for her head stares back at me. Wait ... I don't have blue eyes! Then I realize I haven't been looking into the mirror. I've been staring at a poster of Kristen Stewart for five minutes. My own hair is actually fine. ~ Andrew Shaffer
Big Surprises quotes by Andrew Shaffer
Science is about predictions based on predictable fact. Life is about surprises based on the unpredictable reality. ~ Ori Hofmekler
Big Surprises quotes by Ori Hofmekler
I'm not a big drinker and I've had enough secondhand smoke for this decade and the next, so ... "
Great. All she had to do was complain about the deafening volume of the music, and she might as well slap a sticker on her forehead saying old next to the one that already said nerd.
"Band's good, though," she added. "Country's not my thing, but the players are ... proficient." And great, now she sounded like a professor. Proficient. God.
But he was nodding. "Country's not my thing, either."
"But you have a cowboy hat," she said, and as soon as the words left her lips, she realized how stupid she sounded, no - not that she sounded, but that she was. ~ Suzanne Brockmann
Big Surprises quotes by Suzanne Brockmann
It would be a big favor to political discourse; to our ability to do our work here in Congress; and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and, more importantly, in their future, ~ Jay Rockefeller
Big Surprises quotes by Jay Rockefeller
I believe if you work hard and you dream big enough, you can accomplish anything in this world. ~ Buddy Valastro
Big Surprises quotes by Buddy Valastro
We think it will be shortly afterwards, but it seems a terrible thing to gamble with such big stakes in diplomacy without having your master card in your hand. ~ Henry L. Stimson
Big Surprises quotes by Henry L. Stimson
Always remember, no matter how big you get in life, God is still bigger; when you feel to be at your lowest point, Satan is still at the bottom. ~ Anthony Liccione
Big Surprises quotes by Anthony Liccione
How I Threw Big Party for Jane Austen

It was at a petting party in the White House that I first met Jane Austen. The beautiful little Englishwoman had come to our shores in response to an attractive offer from the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer people, one of whose officers had spelled out her novel 'Pride and Prejudice' and considered it good material for a seven reel comedy. Syd Chaplin was at that time with this firm and was slated for the title role.

Miss Austen had a few weeks' time to spare before she was due in Hollywood and it fell to my lot to entertain her. I postponed my engagement with President Pierce, whom I intended to interview in regard to my pension as general in the Spanish war, and placed myself entirely at the disposal of the little authoress. She expressed a desire to see the night life of New York and I organized a party to visit Texas Guinan's. In the party, besides myself and Miss Austen, or Janey as we called her, were Brinck Thorne, then captain of the Yale football nine, and Harry Wills.*

*Editor's note: The author evidently means 'eleven,' not 'nine.'

*Author's note: Other teams would not play against Mr. Thorne unless he limited himself to eight helpers instead of the regulation ten.

After two or three rounds of drinks we decided we had had enough and a water brought us a check for $22.75. The other two men seemed to have paralysis of the arms and as I found on $1.50 in my pocket, I asked Miss Guinan if ~ Ring Lardner Jr.
Big Surprises quotes by Ring Lardner Jr.
Hello, little girl," he said, which was only his first big mistake. "I'm sure you want to know all about hedgehogs, eh?"
"I did this one last year," said Tiffany.
The man looked closer, and his grin faded. "Oh, yes," he said. "I remember. You asked all those ... little questions."
"I would like a question answered today," said Tiffany.
"Provided it's not one about how you get baby hedgehogs," said the man.
"No," said Tiffany patiently. "It's about zoology."
"Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it."
"No, actually it isn't," said Tiffany. "Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite small. ~ Terry Pratchett
Big Surprises quotes by Terry Pratchett
Adopted.
Big Deal; so was Superman ~ Chris Crutcher
Big Surprises quotes by Chris Crutcher
And on and on it went-that duet between the dumb, praying lady and the big, hollow man who was so full of loving echoes. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Big Surprises quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
In order to become a big-league manager you have to be in the right place at the right time. That's rule number one. ~ Leo Durocher
Big Surprises quotes by Leo Durocher
Its important to have specific dreams. Dream Big. Dream without fear. ~ Randy Pausch
Big Surprises quotes by Randy Pausch
Smoke lowering down from chimney-pots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes - gone into mourning, one might imagine, for the death of the sun. ~ Charles Dickens
Big Surprises quotes by Charles Dickens
Look, the Latin name for this fish is Carcharodon carcharias, okay? The closest ancestor we can find for it is something called Carcharodon megalodon, a fish that existed maybe thirty or forty thousand years ago. We have fossil teeth from megalodon. They're six inches long. That would put the fish at between eighty and a hundred feet. And the teeth are exactly like the teeth you see in great whites today. What I'm getting at is, suppose the two fish are really one species. What's to say megalodon is really extinct? Why should it be? Not lack of food. If there's enough down there to support whales, there's enough to support sharks that big. Just because we've never seen a hundred-foot white doesn't mean they couldn't exist. They'd have no reason to come to the surface. All their food would be way down in the deep. A dead one wouldn't float to shore, because they don't have flotation bladders. Can you imagine what a hundred-foot white would look like? Can you imagine what it could do, what kind of power it would have?It would be like a locomotive with a mouth full of butcher knives. ~ Peter Benchley
Big Surprises quotes by Peter Benchley
However small you might be, if necessary, struggle against the mountain of evils however big it may be! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Big Surprises quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The gun issue is a big, unresolved issue in this country right now. I think it's out of control. ~ Nora Dunn
Big Surprises quotes by Nora Dunn
Life is full of little ironies, but it's also pockmarked with some the size of that big rock in Australia. ~ Rick Yancey
Big Surprises quotes by Rick Yancey
The Big L was cold crazy, A top-notch crook snatchin' pocket books from old ladies I told him, "Give up the dough, before you get smoked! Oh you broke? ( *shots* ) Now you're dead broke" My name is L and I'm from a part of town where clowns, Get beat down and all you hear is gunshot sounds 'Cause at nighttime niggas try to tax, they're sneakier than alley cats, that's why I carry gats ~ Big L
Big Surprises quotes by Big L
It's a really big struggle for me to write a song. Songs take either 30 seconds for me to write or a year or two to piece together, depending on the song and how I'm feeling on any given day. I don't really like to write music at all unless I am completely unbothered by touring. ~ Adam Levine
Big Surprises quotes by Adam Levine
After 'Where The Wild Things Are,' which was this big, long five-year project, I spent a year making small things. ~ Spike Jonze
Big Surprises quotes by Spike Jonze
Travis slammed into my back, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"You scared the shit outta me!" I complained.
He ran his hands over my skin. I noticed they felt different; slow and deliberate. I closed my eyes when he pulled me against him and buried his face in my hair, nuzzling my neck. Feeling his bare skin against mine, it took me a moment to protest.
"Travis…,"
He pulled my hair to one side and grazed his lips along my back from one shoulder to the other, unsnapping the clasp of my bra. He kissed the bare skin at the base of my neck and I closed my eyes, the warm softness of his mouth felt oo good to make him stop. A quiet moan escaped from his throat when he pressed his pelvis against mine, and I could feel how much he wanted me through his boxers. I held my breath, knowing the only thing keeping us from that big step I was so opposed to a few moments before was two thin pieces of fabric.
Travis turned me to face him, and then pressed against me, leaning my back against the wall. Our eyes met, and I could see the ache in his expression as he scanned the bare pieces of my skin. I had seen him peruse women before, but this was different. He didn't want to conquer me; he wanted me to say yes.
He leaned in to kiss me, stopping just an inch away. I could feel the heat from his skin radiating against my lips, and I had to stop myself from drawing him in the rest of the way. His fingers were digging into my skin as he deliberated, and then his han ~ Jamie McGuire
Big Surprises quotes by Jamie McGuire
I trust you, she said. Three words. Big ones. Especially coming from her. ~ Jim Butcher
Big Surprises quotes by Jim Butcher
Big business depends entirely on the patronage of those who buy its products: the biggest enterprises loses its power and its influence when it loses its customers. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Big Surprises quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
He found Podrick Payne asleep in a chair outside the door of the solar, and shook him by the shoulder. "Summon Bronn, and then tun down to the stables and have two horses saddled." (Tyrion).
The squire's eyes were cloudy with sleep. "Horses". (squire)
"Those big brown animals that love apples, I'm sure you've seen them. Four legs and a tail. But Bronn first." (Tyrion) ~ George R R Martin
