None of us know all the potentialities that slumber in the spirit of the population, or all the ways in which that population can surprise us when there is the right interplay of events.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No amount of thought can ever reveal what comes unexpectedly.
Some things are so unexpected that no one is prepared for them.
Things that are unknown attract us.
I think everything that happens in life we're prepared for in ways we really don't really know.
That's the tricky thing these days: being able to surprise people.
A small, seemingly inconsequential event can determine a life.
I remember my first lecture on my first day in evolutionary biology, how populations and species change. I sat thinking, 'Why doesn't everyone know this?' I look back on it almost in horror: I came so close to not knowing how exciting our world is.
One can never know enough. The unknown and its call lies even in what we know.
Our actions - and inaction - touch people we may never know and never meet across the globe.
There are very few things that surprise me.
