A jealous Leo was adorable.
"Oh, I didn't do it for sex. We were playing Tomb Raider. And I would have gotten away with the treasure, too, if the bolts would have held."

"I'm yours," she muttered as her lashes fluttered shut, her battle with them lost. #Quote by Eve Langlais

Your giddy uncle,
Monty #Quote by Lemony Snicket

"That's curious. We've had gorgeous weather in London."
"The birds ceased to sing."
"What birds?"
"What the devil does it matter what birds?" said young BIngo, with some asperity. "Any birds. The birds round about here. You don't expect me to specify them by their pet names, do you? I tell you, Bertie, it hit me hard at first, very hard."
"What hit you?" I simply couldn't follow the blighter.
"Charlotte's calculated callousness. #Quote by P.G. Wodehouse

#16. I know you. I see into you. Your heart is my heart. Your breath is my breath. Your soul is my soul. Your pain… your pain is my fucking pain. So don't expect me to believe you when you say you stopped loving me, because I looked you in the eye when you said goodbye to me, bluebird. My heart broke when yours did. My lungs stopped breathing when yours did. My soul hurt when yours did. My pain felt like it was killing me, just like yours did. You loved me then. You never stopped. You still love me now, the same way I still fucking love you. #Quote by Callie Hart

Don't you dare expect me to live a life without you! You go into the afterlife? So do I. Simple as that. If we have a day left, I want to enjoy every second of it with you. #Quote by Katie Reus

#18. That's right. People. It's all people. People and their stupid fucking groups. Show me an individual decision maker whose decisions have harmed me, and I'll melt his stack to slag.

#29. …I remember this tree!" I exclaimed. "We used to climb it all the time." Peter seemed to have this in mind also, because as I spoke he was already starting to climb the tree.

Taking off my boots, I began to climb up after Peter. #Quote by Christopher Daniel Mechling

#30. My audience expects cold, hard truth. They don't expect me to dance around it. They expect me to say it the way they think it. That's part of my brand.

#31. It is the well educated who will improve society - and they will improve it, at first, by criticizing it, and we are giving them the tools to criticize it. Naturally, as students, the brighter of them will begin their improvements upon society by criticizing us." To Owen, old Archie Thorndike would sing a slightly different song: "It is your responsibility to find fault with me, it is mine to hear you out. But don't expect me to change. I'm not going to change; I'm going to retire! Get the new headmaster to make the changes; that's when I made changes - when I was new." "WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE?" Owen Meany asked. "That's another reason I'm retiring!" old Thorny told Owen amiably. "My memory's shot! #Quote by John Irving

#32. Don't expect me to be sane anymore. Don't let's be sensible. It was a marriage at Louveciennes - you can't dispute it. I came away with pieces of you sticking to me; I am walking about, swimming, in an ocean of blood, your Andalusian blood, distilled and poisonous ... I can't see how I can go on living away from you - these intermissions are death. How did it seem to you when Hugo came back? Was I still there? I can't picture you moving about with him as you did with me. Legs closed. Frailty. Sweet, treacherous acquiescence. Bird docility. You became a woman with me. I was almost terrified by it. You are not just thirty years old - you are a thousand years old.
Here I am back and still smouldering with passion, like wine smoking. Not a passion any longer for flesh, but a complete hunger for you, a devouring hunger. #Quote by Henry Miller

#33. She met his eyes and playing fair lost its appeal. "You are not going to forget me," she said, her chin up. "I don't give a damn what your plans are, you still want me. Just don't expect me to sit around waiting

#34. We should have sex."
"We will," he said, giving me a grin. "Not the way you mean."
"Come again?"
"And again and again."
Rolling my eyes, I ignored his grin. "Do you want to go somewhere and have sex?"
"Sex sounds too clinical."
"Fuck then."
Judd frowned. "No, I fuck other women. I don't know what it would be called with you. Sex sounds like how my mom whispers the word though."
"So do you want to go somewhere?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you're not looking at me like you did in the parking lot that day. You're looking at me like this is an errand you need to run. The Arby's you need to get out of your system. I want you to look at me like you did that day."
"I don't know how I looked at you."
"Don't expect me to imitate the facial expression. I only have three of them and I'm not angry or coming. That only leaves the expression you're looking at right now."
"You're too fucking precious with all your sweet talk."
Judd's eyes narrowed, but I saw him fighting a grin. #Quote by Bijou Hunter

#38. I had often sought for the peace there is in Christ, but I could not seem to find the freedom I desired. A terrible sadness rested on my heart. I could not think of anything I had done to cause me to feel sad; but it seemed to me that I was not good enough to enter Heaven, that such a thing would be altogether too much for me to expect. #Quote by Ellen G. White

#39. We don't anticipate accidents, nor do we expect to die young. #Quote by V.C. Andrews

#41. Don't expect everyone to admire
this world is made up of hate and fire. #Quote by Srishti

#42. I think what's so great about making your first feature film is that you're so naive in some ways; you don't know what to expect, and you don't question things as much because you're just trying to figure it out as you go. #Quote by Gia Coppola

#43. You two still establishing a pecking order?"
"Oh, it's clear who's at the top," Jayan said. "The lesser hordes need to sort out their own hierarchy. Are you enjoying being the prize they're fighting over?"
"Me?"
"Yes, you. I'm afraid female magicians have quite a reputation. My young, naïve subordinates are trying to work out if any of them stands a chance with you."
"A chance?" She turned and began picking fruit again. "Am I to expect a marriage proposal, or something much shallower?"
"Definitely shallower," he said. #Quote by Trudi Canavan

#44. Do you become in visible?'
'No. I'm there, if you know how to look. I stand between the place you look at and the place you see. Behind what you expect to see. If you expect to see me, you do. I listen in places where no one expects me to be. #Quote by Patricia A. McKillip

#45. If you really like a movie these days, you don't watch it once, especially if you're a kid, because you have a different relationship with media. You expect that to be on your hard drive, and it will look just as good, any time you watch it. It's not like VHS, where you watched it a certain amount of times and it started fading away. #Quote by Joseph M. Kahn

#46. Don't just believe, EXPECT!! #Quote by Abhishek Kumar

#47. This need to be right has put a huge burden on me, one that I never deserved to have to carry. Part of it, I know, is cultural
in this age of information at a moment's notice, we've come to expect people to have answers
the right answers
at the drop of a hat. I feel very fortunate that over the last decade or so I've been able to leave the need to be right behind me and move on with my life with a more healthy perspective. I'm now willing not just to admit that I'm wrong, but also to stick my neck out with ideas or thoughts that may be wrong. The possibility of being wrong no longer threatens my emotional well-being; if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I learn from that. #Quote by Tom Walsh

#48. If I expect great things from my people, they'll go to great lengths to keep from disappointing me. #Quote by John C. Maxwell

#49. Some advice to the SJW castrati: Liberation is found through human agency. Each of us is an individual first with strengths & weaknesses. I am me. My group identities constitute parts of who I am but I expect people to judge me as an individual, not as a member of any group. Classical liberalism is founded on individual rights & freedoms. It is through this mindset that people flourish. Stop identity politics. I'm neither proud nor ashamed of my skin color. I am neither proud nor ashamed of my group affiliation. But I'm proud of my personhood. #Quote by Gad Saad

#50. I like the idea of building this wandering, epic narrative in a form that people don't expect epic narratives to appear. #Quote by Lucas Neff

#51. Our kids haven't any airs about them. I don't like posh kids who don't like dirty dolls or expect a chauffeur every time they go out. #Quote by Linda McCartney

#52. If you give up every time you don't achieve the immediate gain you want, you're just guaranteeing that the worst is going to happen ... You can't expect an easy victory after one protest march. #Quote by Noam Chomsky

#53. Because you can't expect to be treated great if you don't first believe that you are great. #Quote by Jennifer Lopez

#54. Well, of course, you can't expect people to rearrange their minds in five minutes. And I'm not good at this. And I don't want to do it. It's a bore, anyway. Unfortunately I know what will happen if I keep on; I'll say that if we are going to talk about these things, let us please talk about them seriously and our fake Britisher will say that he always takes pretty girls seriously and then I'll say I don't you cut off your testicles and shove them down your throat? and then I'll lose my job and then I'll commit suicide. I once hit a man with a book but that was at a feminist meeting and anyway I didn't hit him really, because he dodged. I have never learned the feminine way of cutting a man down to size, although I can imagine how to do it, but truth to tell, that would go against what I believe, that men must live up to such awful things. #Quote by Joanna Russ

#55. And all that time I was lying to my support group. I told the ladies, "Sure! I'm writing!" when I wasn't. Yes, I could have filled all those newfound minutes with actual work, but I had no confidence in myself. I was a fraud. Who was I to pick up a pen and expect anything good to come out of it? I expected perfection as soon as the pencil hit the paper, and since that's impossible, I couldn't get myself to start. Then I felt guilty about not starting, which made me want to start even less. And with no game to bury the feelings, I got very depressed. No wonder I didn't book any acting jobs in the last half of 2006. No one wanted to hire a clinically depressed person to sell snack foods. #Quote by Felicia Day

#56. Awake to find you gone, emptiness is where you lay
I just had to smile for all the things you'll never
hear me say
Oh, I know, I could never get that near
What do you expect me to do, disappear? #Quote by Steve Kilbey

#57. And if you expect you'll gain anything from us by your way of approachin' us, you're jolly well mistaken. That's all. Good-night.'
They clattered upstairs, injured virtue on every inch of their backs.
'But - but what the dickens have we done?' said Harrison, amazedly, to Craye.
'I don't know. Only - it always happens that way when one has anything to do with them. They're so beastly plausible. #Quote by Rudyard Kipling

#58. Darlin', you can't tell me your ex wasn't adventurous and not expect me to see it as a challenge. #Quote by Leah Braemel

#59. Hancock: I was talking about Olive, my sweetheart.
Sid : And a load of old rubbish it was too.
Hancock: Oh well of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand. How could a man like you hope to understand the sensitive world of two children who discover the wonders of innocent love for the first time.
Sid: 'Innocent love'. If I'd been your old man I'd have given you a thump round the earhole and kicked you up to bed.
Hancock: I don't think I've such a crude man in my life. #Quote by Ray Galton

#60. We usually bring her helmet with us, but we left it back in the hotel room this time."
I gasp. I also try to decide what kind of flowers I'll bring to her funeral after I strangle the life from her body. I should have stayed in Jersey, like Mom said. Shouldn't have come here with Chloe and her parents. What business do I have in Florida? We live on the Jersey Shore. If you've seen one beach, you've seen them all, right?
But noooooooo. I had to come and spend the last of my summer with Chloe, because this would be our last summer together before college, blah-blah-blah. And now she's taking revenge on me for not letting her use my ID to get a tattoo last night. But what did she expect? I'm white and she's black. I'm not even tan-white. I'm Canadian-tourist white. If the guy could mistake her for me, then he shouldn't be giving anyone a tattoo, right? I was just protecting her. Only, she doesn't realize that. I can tell by that look in her eyes-the same look she wore when she replaced my hand sanitizer with personal lubricant-that she's about to take what's left of my pride and kick it like a donkey.
"Uh, we didn't get your name. Did you get his name, Emma?" she asks, as if on cue.
"I tried, Chloe. But he wouldn't tell me, so I tackled him," I say, rolling my eyes.
The guy smirks. This almost-smile hints at how breathtaking a real one would be. The tingling flares up again, and I rub my arms. #Quote by Anna Banks

#61. I'm still a size 10, but it's the toning that's getting me down, and I think it can only get more difficult as I get older. Either one gets very thin and scrawny, or one puts on poundage; I'm definitely not going to pile on the pounds, so I can expect to end up scrawny. #Quote by Kate O'Mara

#62. The game is supposed to be fun. If you had a bad day, don't worry. You can't expect to get a hit every game. #Quote by Yogi Berra

#63. I'm sitting in the prow-shaped dining room of a tourist steamer, the Georgi Zhukov, on the Yenisei River, which flows from the foothills of Mongolia to the Arctic Ocean, thus cleaving the northern Eurasian plain – a distance of some two and a half thousand versts. Given Russian distances, and the general arduousness of Russian life, you'd expect a verst to be the equivalent of – I don't know – thirty-nine miles. In fact it's barely more than a kilometer. #Quote by Martin Amis

#64. How can I expect to get anything done around here with you touching me like that? #Quote by Faith Sullivan

#65. We eat and fuck and try to survive. That's what we've been turned into. What the fuck do you expect me to do to? #Quote by Zannie Adams

#66. At first I thought you were your mother, come to free me from my hell. Like an angel. You take after her, though you are as young as I remember."
I stared at my ash-covered feet, and the hair that fell in a mussed braid by my side. I thought of Bharata's dead walking past my bedroom while I slept. I thought of Vikram weeping for his dead mother while I kissed the Dharma Raja in a winter room. I was no angel.
"Who rules in your stead?"
"The yuvuraja, Skanda," said the Raja, thoughtfully tugging on his beard. Death had not relieved him of all his habits. I almost smiled to see the familiar gesture. "I hope he remembers all I have said. Sometimes I expect to see him across my cell. And I do not know if he will be young as I remember him, or old because time has passed and I am here." He looked at the ground. "Do not pity me, daughter. Everyone comes here. Some merely stay longer than others."
We stared at each other through the glass. I could feel his eyes searching me, trying to match up the memory of when he had last seen me to the person who stood before him now.
"Partnered with Death itself," he said, repeating a part of my horoscope. A harsh laugh escaped him. "I understand now." The Raja moved away from his mirror wall, his eyes twinkling as he bowed low. #Quote by Roshani Chokshi

#67. My station has barely recovered from the massacre, and we have not held my formal coronation, not to mention the fact I am only eighteen years of age and have no parent present. How on earth do people expect me to find a husband in all of this nonsense? #Quote by Courtney Brandt

#68. I now know that surrendering, allowing, and "BE-ing" is far more productive than grasping for control. I don't know why one child is born with autism and another isn't, or why some children have to fight cancer and some don't. I have lived long enough to know that life is not fair, never will be fair, and we shouldn't expect it to be. #Quote by Jenn Bruer

#69. I expect art to make me scream, art to reveal soul. #Quote by Kay WalkingStick

#70. I know for a fact that if a country took me in and offered me assistance, I would be on my best behaviour forever! I would show total respect to the people of that nation and their laws. And I certainly wouldn't expect special treatment. #Quote by Karl Wiggins

#71. Customers don't expect you to be perfect. They do expect you to fix things when they go wrong. #Quote by Don Porter

#72. It is what you don't expect," he'd said, "that most needs looking for." "Do #Quote by Neal Stephenson

#73. Damon: I wanted to apologize.
Elena: Good.
Damon: Let me finish. I said I wanted to. And then I realized, I'm not sorry.
Elena: You would rather die than be human, and you expect me to be okay with that?
Damon: I didn't say you were supposed to be okay with it, I just said I'm not sorry. But you know what I really am? Selfish, because I make bad choices that hurt you. Yes, I would rather have died than be human. I'd rather die right now than spend a handful of years with you, only to lose you when I'm too old and sick and miserable and you're still you. I'd rather die right now than spend my last final years remembering how good I had it and how happy I was, because that's who I am, Elena, and I'm not gonna change. And there's no apology in the world that encompasses all the reasons that I'm wrong for you.
Elena: Fine, then I'm not sorry either. I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything, that in death you're the one that made me feel most alive. You've been a terrible person, you've made all the wrong choices, and of all the choices that I've made this will prove to be the worst one. But I am not sorry that I'm in love with you. I love you, Damon. I love you. #Quote by L.J. Smith

#74. Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers. #Quote by R.A. Salvatore

#75. Someone knocked on the back door. He push back the chair and had to pause. The wolf was angry that someone had breached his sanctuary. Not even his pack had been brave enough the past few days to approch him in his home.
By the time he stalked into the kitchen, he had it mostly under control. He jerked open the back door and expect to see one of his wolves. But it was Mercy.
She didn't look cheerful - but then, she seldom did when she had to come over and talk to him. She was tough and independent and not at all happy to have him interfere in any way with that independence. It had been a long time since someone had bossed him around the way she did - and he liked it. More than a wolf who'd been Alpha for twenty years ought to like it.
She smelled of burnt car oil, Jasmine from the shampoo she'd been using that month, and chocolate. Or maybe that last was the cookies on the plate she handed him.
"Here," she said stiffly. And he realize it was shyness in the corner of her mouth. "Chocolate usually helps me regain my balance when life kicks me in the teeth."
She didn't wait for him to say anything, just turned around and walked back to her house.
He took the cookies back to the office with him. After a few minutes, he ate one. Chocolate, thick and dark, spread across his tongue, it's bitterness alleviated by a sinfull amount of brown sugar and vanilla. He'd forgotten to eat and hadn't realized it.
But it wasn't the chocolate or the food #Quote by Patricia Briggs

#76. Then my mother shocked me. She said, " All those things that you want from your relationship, Liz? I have always wanted those things too." [She] showed me the handful of bullets she'd had to bite over the decades in order to stay happily married (and she was happily married ... ) to my father. "You have to understand how little I was raised to expect that I desired in life, honey. Remember- I come from a different time and place ... and you have to understand how much I love your father. #Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert

#77. I always feel happy, you know why? Because I don't expect anything from anyone. Expectations always hurt. Life is short, so love your life, be happy and keep smiling. #Quote by Anonymous
