Sin sorpresas, aunque sean disagredables, nadie estaria dispuesto a vivir.

We've been struggling to try to understand India's gas centrifuge program and one of the surprises there was that it's a program that really does depend on foreign procurement.

Life is a series of memories, some good, some bad, that make us who we are.

Well, we all like things to be predictable, don't we? We expect things to be safe and to keep on happening just the way they always have. We expect the sun to rise in the morning. We expect to get up, survive the day and finish up back in bed at the end of it, ready to start all over again the next day. But maybe that's just a trick we play on ourselves, our way of making life seem ordinary. Because the truth is, life is so extraordinary that for most of hte time we can't bring ourselves to look at it. It's too bright and it hurts our eyes. The fact of the matter is that nothing is ever certain. But most people never find that out until the ground suddenly disappears from beneath their feet.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

The universe doesn't waste anything. Sometimes, we just don't have standing to see how events or experiences are important.
