I many times encountered courage, real courage. Undeniable courage. I've heard it said that that was the highest quality of the human animal. I encountered that many times, in unexpected places. And I have learned to recognize it when I see it. ~ Dorothea Lange
Unexpected Places quotes by Dorothea Lange
In my books, there is always a prince, and he always happens upon the damsel in the most unexpected places. ~ MarcyKate Connolly
Unexpected Places quotes by MarcyKate Connolly
I appreciate all of the unexpected places, internal and external, that my writing has taken me. ~ Terry Tempest Williams
Unexpected Places quotes by Terry Tempest Williams
The thing about love was that it caught you unawares, turned up in the most unexpected places, even when you weren't looking for it. ~ Sarra Manning
Unexpected Places quotes by Sarra Manning
There are almost unlimited possibilities for making discoveries and to uncover the unknown. It is in the nature of the discovery that it can not be planned or programmed. On the contrary it consists of surprises and appears many times in the most unexpected places. ~ Bengt I. Samuelsson
Unexpected Places quotes by Bengt I. Samuelsson
Love can be found in unexpected places. Sometimes we go out searching for what we think we want and we end up with what we're supposed to have. ~ Kate McGahan
Unexpected Places quotes by Kate McGahan
When you see beauty all around you, beauty will seek and find you, even in the most unexpected places. ~ Alberto Villoldo
Unexpected Places quotes by Alberto Villoldo
If we stretch ourselves to open our minds, to see our shared humanity with others, we allow ourselves to see the existence of community and generosity in unexpected places. ~ Sharon Salzberg
Unexpected Places quotes by Sharon Salzberg
Sometimes life puts us in places that we had never could have envisioned even in our most inventive moments. And when we arrive in those unexpected places, we have to squint through the windows of our souls and wipe clean the eyes of our hearts, for in our blinding routines and mediocre plots we had not anticipated the need of doing so. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Unexpected Places quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Life has a sense of humour; it hides its best treasures in unexpected places. ~ Mensah Oteh
Unexpected Places quotes by Mensah Oteh
Love comes from the most unexpected places. ~ Barbra Streisand
Unexpected Places quotes by Barbra Streisand
When I agreed to give this address, I started trying to think what the best advice I'd been given over the years was.

And it came from Stephen King twenty years ago, at the height of the success of Sandman. I was writing a comic that people loved and were taking seriously. King had like Sandman and my novel with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens, and he saw a madness, the long signing lines, all that, and his advice was this:

"This is really great. You should enjoy it."

And I didn't. Best advice I got that I ignored. Instead I worried about it. I worried about the next deadline, the next idea, the next story. There wasn't a moment for the next fourteen or fifteen years that I wasn't writing something in my head, or wondering about it. And I didn't stop and look around and go, This is really fun. I wish I'd enjoyed it more. It's been an amazing ride. But there were parts of the ride I missed, because I was too worried about things going wrong, about what came next, to enjoy the bit I was on.

That was the hardest lesson for me, I think: to let go and enjoy the ride, because the ride takes you to some remarkable and unexpected places. ~ Neil Gaiman
Unexpected Places quotes by Neil Gaiman
Life's lessons come from unexpected places. We cannot afford to allow prejudices to shut out God's blessings. Being equal is based on seeing equal. It is seated in each individual's willingness to claim their own equality despite all evidence to the contrary and all talk by others who dare to question their value. ~ Melba Pattillo Beals
Unexpected Places quotes by Melba Pattillo Beals
It was one of those delightfully irregular houses where you go up and down steps out of one room into another, and where you come upon more rooms when you think you have seen all there are, and where there is a bountiful provision of little halls and passages, and where you find still older cottage-rooms in unexpected places, with lattice windows and green growth pressing through them. ~ Charles Dickens
Unexpected Places quotes by Charles Dickens
Prayers are answered in ways we don't choose. The river of grace bubbles up in unexpected places. ~ Lisa Wingate
Unexpected Places quotes by Lisa Wingate
Yet historians still start their books with a ritual lament about 'the sources' and their inadequacy. The lament is not entirely insincere (though it is something of a self-constructed problem): the sources often are inadequate for the particular questions that historians choose to pose. But that is part of the ancient-historical game: first pick your question, then demonstrate the appalling difficulty of finding an answer given the paucity of the evidence, finally triumph over that difficulty by scholarly 'skill'. Prestige in this business goes to those who outwit their sources, prising unexpected answers from unexpected places, and who play the clever (sometimes too clever) detective against an apparent conspiracy of ancient silence. ~ Mary Beard
Unexpected Places quotes by Mary Beard
Just when we think we have our own stories figured out, heroes arise in the most unexpected places. ~ Camron Wright
Unexpected Places quotes by Camron Wright
... he'd assumed their relationship would go on forever. It was going on now, but in another way, like the rearrangement of the stars, which were all still in the sky, just burning in unexpected places. ~ Graham Spaid
Unexpected Places quotes by Graham Spaid
Life takes us to unexpected places ... love brings us home. ~ Unknown Author 770
Unexpected Places quotes by Unknown Author 770
Guilt implanted at a tender age is not easy to destroy. A weed, it sprouts in unexpected places. ~ Caryl Rivers
Unexpected Places quotes by Caryl Rivers
Fair, rich confusion is all the aim of an old-fashioned flower garden, and the greater the confusion, the richer. You want to come upon mignonnette in unexpected places, and to find sprays of heliotrope in close consultation with your roses, and geraniums sporting their uniforms like gay recruits off duty. ~ Anna Bartlett Warner
Unexpected Places quotes by Anna Bartlett Warner
Watch your back, little wolf, they say. Enemies arise from unexpected places. ~ Marie Lu
Unexpected Places quotes by Marie Lu
None of these lads here were out getting fighting drunk last night. And thus we wear down mountains. Water dripping on a stone, dissolving and removing. Changing the shape of the world, one drop at a time. Water dripping on a stone, Commander. Water flowing underground, bubbling up in unexpected places. ~ Terry Pratchett
Unexpected Places quotes by Terry Pratchett
My best ideas almost always come from winding up in unexpected places and stumbling across things I never could have imagined in advance. ~ Damian Kulash
Unexpected Places quotes by Damian Kulash
Sometimes answers come at unexpected times, in unexpected ways and unexpected places. ~ Rob Buyea
Unexpected Places quotes by Rob Buyea
Grief is messy. It's traumatic. Devastating. Confusing. Exhausting. Grief is a natural process of our human experience. May you find comfort in these unexpected places along your journey. ~ Dana Arcuri
Unexpected Places quotes by Dana Arcuri
Yes, the world was very strange. But you had to walk through. That was the trick. You had to keep walking through, always, with your chin held high, the way she had passed through the tunnels of the underworld, with only the dim light of the lumpen to guide her. That was the other trick, the other truth: Light would come to you from unexpected places. ~ Lauren Oliver
Unexpected Places quotes by Lauren Oliver
Mom and Dad were killed in a car accident on their way home from the tournament." Mr. Terupt's eyes were moist, but he kept going. "Fortunately, I was headed to college, which was the best place for me. Wrestling saved my life. The challenge it provided kept me going when I could have easily given up. I have no brothers or sisters, or any other extended family, so I was alone after my parents died. You saw that last year at the hospital. But now I have all of you. Sometimes answers come at unexpected times, in unexpected ways and unexpected places. I never ~ Rob Buyea
Unexpected Places quotes by Rob Buyea
It turns out most of the conclusions that I've come to in life have equally valid contradictions. I think it's true you need to make a plan, set a goal and stick to it, but I would also advise: Don't keep your eyes so fixed on your goal that you miss what sneaks up to surprise you, because magic will come from unexpected places. ~ Paul Reiser
Unexpected Places quotes by Paul Reiser
It occurs to me, in fact, that laughter has much in common with prayer. In both acts, we stand on equal ground, freely acknowledging ourselves as fallen creatures. We take ourselves less seriously. We think of our creatureliness. Work divides and ranks; laughter and prayer unite. Finding God in Unexpected Places(245 ~ Philip Yancey
Unexpected Places quotes by Philip Yancey
The honest investigator must be prepared to follow wherever the search of truth may lead. Truth is often found in the most unexpected places. He must, with fearless and open mind insist that facts are far more important than any cherished, mistaken beliefs, no matter how unpleasant the facts or how delightful the beliefs. ~ Hugh B. Brown
Unexpected Places quotes by Hugh B. Brown
One of the things I think is unique and signature about Blizzard is that whenever they do their games, and with Warcraft in particular, they take the things they love and put a twist on it. They showed that heroes can come from the most unexpected places, and as a player, you can play as a hero, on all sides. ~ Duncan Jones
Unexpected Places quotes by Duncan Jones
the single most powerful pattern I have noticed is that successful people find value in unexpected places, and they do this by thinking about business from first principles instead of formulas. ~ Peter Thiel
Unexpected Places quotes by Peter Thiel
True love can blossom in unexpected places. This is Jaden pretending not to notice. ~ Katie Klein
Unexpected Places quotes by Katie Klein
I love Mikhail Bulgakov. He is very original and takes the story to unexpected places. I didn't realise political writing could be so funny. ~ Denise Mina
Unexpected Places quotes by Denise Mina
I feel a reassuring oneness with other people when I find that even my most intimate, anguished, socially inadmissible emotions and desires are known to others ... Kindred souls - indeed, my selves otherwise costumed - turn up in books in the most unexpected places. Discovering them is one of the great rewards of a liberal education. If I quote liberally, it is not to show off book learning, which at my stage of life can only invite ridicule, but rather to bathe in this kinship of strangers. ~ Yi-Fu Tuan
Unexpected Places quotes by Yi-Fu Tuan
Life takes us to unexpected places sometimes. The future is never set in stone, remember that. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Unexpected Places quotes by Erin Morgenstern
Feedback is a pleasant thing. I get a lot of letters from unexpected people in unexpected places. ~ Brian Aldiss
Unexpected Places quotes by Brian Aldiss
Life takes you to unexpected places. Love brings you home. ~ Melissa McClone
Unexpected Places quotes by Melissa McClone
There are bodies buried everywhere you just have to know where to look. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Unexpected Places quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Sometimes the things you've lost can be found again in unexpected places. ~ Lemony Snicket
Unexpected Places quotes by Lemony Snicket
[I]t is useful at times to admit to yourself that you don't know your way and to be open to help from unexpected places. Doing that makes available to you inner and outer energies and allies that arise out of your own soulfulness and selflessness. [...] [G]etting caught up in the normal human tendencies of self-cherishing and arrogance, and ignoring the larger order of things, will ultimately lead to ans impasse in your life in which you are unable to go forward, unable to go back, and unable to turn around. ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Unexpected Places quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
The Christian life, and especially the contemplative life, is a continual discovery of Christ in new and unexpected places. ~ Thomas Merton
Unexpected Places quotes by Thomas Merton
See beauty in those unexpected places. (she asked herself how people could let Bach be background noise.) See the opportunity in what looks like inconvenience. (she steered clear of the traffic jam and went to the bakery she's been meaning to stop at.) She embraces the undeclared possibility in what seems like just another ordinary day. (her friend is scheduled for cancer surgery and suddenly everything around her seems so very precious.) ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
Unexpected Places quotes by Mary Anne Radmacher
Sometimes help comes from unexpected places. ~ Nadia Bolz-Weber
Unexpected Places quotes by Nadia Bolz-Weber
There is kindness in so many unexpected places ~ Karin Slaughter
Unexpected Places quotes by Karin Slaughter
Neil said nothing. Andrew hooked his fingers in the collar of Neil's shirt and tugged just enough for Neil to feel it. "I know what I'm doing. I knew what I was agreeing to when I took Kevin's side. I knew what it could cost us and how far I'd have to go. Understand? You aren't going anywhere. You're staying here." Andrew didn't let go until Neil nodded, and then he reached for Neil's hand. He took his cigarette back, put it between his lips, and pressed a warm key into Neil's empty palm. Neil lifted his hand to look at it. The hardware logo engraved in it meant it was a copy. To what, Neil didn't know, but it only took him a moment to figure it out. Andrew used this key to unlock the front door and then took it off the ring on the porch. Now he was giving it to Neil. "Get some sleep," Andrew said. "We're going home tomorrow. We'll figure this out then." Andrew went around Neil to the front door. He had no sympathy or comfort for his family as they grieved Seth's unexpected death, but he would keep watch on them from the doorway until they were okay again. It was harder than it should have been for Neil to look away from him, but he finally set off down the hall. ~ Nora Sakavic
Unexpected Places quotes by Nora Sakavic
I could do one show after another in China for the rest of my life and still die ignorant. There's a lot of places left to go. ~ Anthony Bourdain
Unexpected Places quotes by Anthony Bourdain
That's the thing about the places we come from - they probably say the least about who we really are than anything. ~ Rebecca Serle
Unexpected Places quotes by Rebecca Serle
I slipped through every school I went to without leaving a trace. I was in no team; I was never a prefect. I was totally mediocre - well, I probably still am - but at places like Summer Fields and Eton, it's all about sport and doing your bit, and I always preferred to watch telly or read a book than run round a field. ~ Tom Parker Bowles
Unexpected Places quotes by Tom Parker Bowles
Adventure is just a romantic name for trouble. It sounds swell when you write about it, but it's hell when you meet it face to face in a dark and lonely place. ~ Louis L'Amour
Unexpected Places quotes by Louis L'Amour
Somali is turning into a desert. Rwanda, you can hardly find a place to plant a potato, it's so crowded. ~ Jim Fowler
Unexpected Places quotes by Jim Fowler
In his clearest moments he thinks he has lost the ability to love, people or places or things, most of all the person and place and thing that he is. Without love nothing has value, nothing can be made to matter very much. ~ Damon Galgut
Unexpected Places quotes by Damon Galgut
When you're really close to someone, they can make fun of you a lot and get away with it. But they sort of poke you in all of the right places. ~ Ian Somerhalder
Unexpected Places quotes by Ian Somerhalder
If you want to see that human story unfold, if you want to understand that only the unexpected life is worth a damn, spend some time with 46 years of Lou Reed's work: music that leaped and then looked. Safety is for the godless and the faithless. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel
Unexpected Places quotes by Elizabeth Wurtzel
Do you know where the word 'asylum' comes from?" she was saying. "It dates back to the Middle Ages, from a person's right to seek refuge in churches and other holy places. The right to asylum is something any civilized person can understand. So how could my father, the director of an asylum, treat someone like that?" Paulo ~ Paulo Coelho
Unexpected Places quotes by Paulo Coelho
I am not averse to generalizing the notion of "modern" to designate a certain way of life, rather than making it purely a synonym of 'contemporary'. There are moments and places in history to which 'we moderns' could return without too greatly disturbing the harmony of those times, without seeming objects infinitely curious and conspicuous ... creatures shocking, dissonant, and unassailable. ~ Paul Valery
Unexpected Places quotes by Paul Valery
When you have God come amongst you to support and sustain you, why grovel through crude vulgar entities? Avoid places where they bargain in terms of gifts, donations, for Spiritual guidance and Transmission. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Unexpected Places quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
I'm attracted to people. To the words they speak, to the actions they take, to their full-bodied mannerisms and soulful gaits. I am attracted to people. To impassioned hearts that beat out of sync, the ones that skip a measure, heard in hushed places and violent spaces - I am attracted to people. ~ Krista Ritchie
Unexpected Places quotes by Krista Ritchie
Dawn comes after the darkness, and with it the promise that what has been torn by the sea is not lost. All of life is breaking and mending, clipping and stitching, gathering tatters and sewing seams. All of life is quilted from the scraps of what once was and is no more- the places we have been, the memories we have made, the people we have known, that which has been long loved but has grown threadbare over time and can be worn no longer. We keep only pieces. All colors, all shapes, all sizes.
"All waiting to be stitched into the pattern only you can see.
"In the quiet after the storm, I hear you whisper, 'Daughter, do not linger where you are. Take up your needle and your thread, and go see to the mending ... ~ Lisa Wingate
Unexpected Places quotes by Lisa Wingate
I ask too many personal questions and am always poking into the out-of-the-way places. ~ Kathleen O'Dell
Unexpected Places quotes by Kathleen O'Dell
Wherever you are, stay there. I will find you. The world darkens and narrows; the places where we can communicate, where we can meet, are diminishing and departing. ~ Ian McDonald
Unexpected Places quotes by Ian McDonald
CHORUS
Many are the shapes of things divine.
Many are the unexpected acts of gods.
What we imagined did not come to pass --
God found a way
to be surprising.
That's how this went. ~ Anne Carson
Unexpected Places quotes by Anne Carson
Heading towards that inner home will take you places-both inside yourself and in the external world-which your heart will recognize as its native environment, even though you have never been there before. ~ Martha Beck
Unexpected Places quotes by Martha Beck
And then it was all happening, what had started to happen at least twice before. Feelings so sweet and strong she could hardly bear it. Strange recognition, unexpected belonging ... impossible knowing ... ~ L.J.Smith
Unexpected Places quotes by L.J.Smith
We have to accept that making movies is a never-ending process of occasional progress, frequent setbacks, and unexpected curveballs being thrown our way. Navigating that process requires stamina, curiosity, openness, and creative fire. ~ Karyn Kusama
Unexpected Places quotes by Karyn Kusama
It may be that places exist in order that memory itself has a home. ~ David St. John
Unexpected Places quotes by David St. John
People think that I'm mean because I'm quiet, and I don't really go out places or because I don't really say too much. On the other hand, people think that I'm soft because I may not handle myself the way other people handle themselves. That's just not me. They don't know my background or none of that stuff. ~ Derrick Rose
Unexpected Places quotes by Derrick Rose
Remember that churches would be empty ruins without the sinners who transform them into places of life, love and worship. ~ Rev. Kellen Roggenbuck
Unexpected Places quotes by Rev. Kellen Roggenbuck
Lights flash and we'll run for the fences
Let them say what they want we won't hear it ~ Taylor Swift
Unexpected Places quotes by Taylor Swift
In my morning time with God, I ask Him to fill all my hollow places with His lavish, unfailing love. This frees me from craving the approval of others and requiring them to fill up my "cup." Then, if someone takes the time to demonstrate his or her love for me, that's the overflow! I am free to appreciate and enjoy it, but I didn't emotionally require it! ~ Beth Moore
Unexpected Places quotes by Beth Moore
There's nobody in the world that wouldn't change places with the Americans. The economy is phenomenally large, the entrepreneurial class is very alive and very well, the universities, despite budget problems, still turn out something like 90 percent of the refereed academic and technical articles in the world. There's a lot on everybody's agenda. ~ Tom Peters
Unexpected Places quotes by Tom Peters
None of the places where I grew up and live in my youth exist any longer: Tsarskoe Selo, Sevastopol, Kiev, Slepnyovo, Gungerburg (Ust-Narova).
The following have survived: Khersones (because it is eternal), Paris - by somebody's oversight, and Petersburg-Leningrad, so that there would be a place to lay my head. ~ Anna Akhmatova
Unexpected Places quotes by Anna Akhmatova
Aladdin rates high for fuckability and marriage material. I mean, imagine the possibilities for sex in public places with that magic carpet. ~ Keeley Bates
Unexpected Places quotes by Keeley Bates
The more places I go to, the more I realize I understand so little about the world. ~ Michael Franti
Unexpected Places quotes by Michael Franti
This we do, not hastily; this we do, not in passion; this we do, without hatred.
This is not the battle, when a man strikes fiercely and fear drives him on. This is not the hot quarrel when two strive for place or the love of a woman.
Knot the rope; whet the ax; pour the poison; pile the faggots.
This is the one who killed his fellow unprovoked; this is the one who stole the child away; this is the one who spat upon the image of our God; this is the one who leagued himself with the Devil to be a witch; this is the one who corrupted our youth; this is the one who told the enemy of our secret places.
We are afraid, but we do not talk of fear. We have many deep thoughts and doubts, but we do not speak them. We say, "Justice"; we say, "The Law"; we say, "We, the people"; we say, "The State. ~ George R. Stewart
Unexpected Places quotes by George R. Stewart
The radiance in some places is so great as to be fairly dazzling ... every crystal, every flower a window opening into heaven, a mirror reflecting the Creator. ~ John Muir
Unexpected Places quotes by John Muir
Los Angeles is full of places to hide a body, but when the person inside the body doesn't love you, it's not an easy thing, turning that breathing person into a dead one. ~ Caroline Kepnes
Unexpected Places quotes by Caroline Kepnes
And in an odd way, realizing all this has given me an unexpected satisfaction and a little more self-respect. I have changed, and it's for the better. You really can't love unconditionally. People can burn and beat love out of you. They really can kill it, and it's not your fault you don't feel it anymore, and how liberating it is to finally realize that. Love isn't for better or for worse, through thick or thin. ~ Patricia Cornwell
Unexpected Places quotes by Patricia Cornwell
My grandfather told me that God puts pieces in the wrong places to keep us busy solving puzzles, and in the perfect places so that we never forget there is a God. ~ Julia Heaberlin
Unexpected Places quotes by Julia Heaberlin
Only times and places, only names and ghosts. ~ Aldous Huxley
Unexpected Places quotes by Aldous Huxley
The fact that China has about seven percent arable land, means that she's always going to be looking for places that have more arable lands to finance or to provide food stuffs. ~ Dambisa Moyo
Unexpected Places quotes by Dambisa Moyo
What is first seen as a loss is now seen as a gain. For he finds solitude, not in far off, quite places; he creates it out of himself, spreads it around him, wherever he may be, because he loves it and slowly he ripens in this tranquility. For the inner process is beginning to unfold, stillness is extraordinarily important. ~ Janwillem Van De Wetering
Unexpected Places quotes by Janwillem Van De Wetering
Re which, again, please keep in mind that a language is both a map of the world and its own world, with its own shadowlands and crevasses-places where statements that seem to obey all the language's rules are nevertheless impossible to deal with. ~ David Foster Wallace
Unexpected Places quotes by David Foster Wallace
Listen,' someone whispers into my ear. 'Listen to me.'
Am I dead?
'Listen,' the voice whispers. 'In some countries, you kill a monster when it's born. Other places, you kill it only when it kills someone else. Other places, you let it go, out into the forest or the sea, and it lives there forever, calling for others of its kind. Listen to me, it cries. Maybe it's just alone. ~ Maria Dahvana Headley
Unexpected Places quotes by Maria Dahvana Headley
This is cool I have my Autism profile (information processing - visual, verbal, auditory, body, context blindnesses/deafnesses etc) and my Personhood which is Idiosyncratic/Solitary/Emotional personality traits these come from different places but "hold hands" personhood and Autism are different entities and can be separated in terms of context, understanding (differences between ASD and Personality) but they're within one person and I would always want to seen as someone for their personhood rather than my Autism. ~ Paul Isaacs
Unexpected Places quotes by Paul Isaacs
We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things that we haven't done, while others ignore our faults and just see our smile. Some leave us when we need them the most, while some stay with us even when ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which hand to hold! After all that's life, learning to hold on and learning to let go. ~ Chanda Kaushik
Unexpected Places quotes by Chanda Kaushik
When we know who we are and what we are supposed to do, it is easier to make important decisions about education, careers, and marriage. It is easier to shine our light in our families, with our friends, and in all other places. ~ Julie B. Beck
Unexpected Places quotes by Julie B. Beck
