But life inevitably throws us curve balls, unexpected circumstances that remind us to expect the unexpected. I've come to understand these curve balls are the beautiful unfolding of both karma and current.
Expect the unexpected, my mother once said. Because the unexpected most certainly will be expecting you.
Most people want to be circled by safety, not by the unexpected. The unexpected can take you out. But the unexpected can also take you over and change your life. Put a heart in your body where a stone used to be.
Jake: [to Riggan] This isn't the 90s anymore.
Ori: Have they got any chips?
Riggan: [to Birdman] Bye-bye. And fuck you.
Gandalf: I'm looking for someone to share in an adventure.
Mike Shiner: Lesley, play with my balls.
Riggan: I'm nothing. I'm not even here.
The firmer the plan, the more one can expect the unexpected.
When you're in the news business, you always expect the unexpected.
Bilbo Baggins: Can I help you? Gandalf: That remains to be seen.
Bilbo Baggins: My name is Bilbo Baggins! Gollum: Baggines? What is Bagginses?... Precious.
Thorin Oakenshield: Out of the frying pan... Gandalf: ...and into the fire.
Sam: It all smells like fucking kimchi!
To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect.
If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.
Gandalf: I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me.
Oin: I've got parasites the size of me arm!
Thorin Oakenshield: Or do we seize this chance to take back Erebor?
Mike Shiner: Popularity is the slutty little cousin of prestige.
