Fear keeps pace with hope. Nor does their so moving together surprise me; both belong to a mind in suspense, to a mind in a state of anxiety through looking into the future. Both are mainly due to projecting our thoughts far ahead of us instead of adapting ourselves to the present. Thus it is that foresight, the greatest blessing humanity has been given, is transformed into a curse.
Seneca

The progress bar has become like the crack of Current TV. It's the single most complimented thing on the whole network. There's a suspense to watching that progress bar move. It's like those freeway signs. In a universe that's characterized by so much chaos and disorder, maybe these little things give us a sense of psychological control.
David Neuman
The suspense of a novel is not only in the reader, but in the novelist, who is intensely curious about what will happen to the hero.
Mary Mccarthy
I had no idea. It was so hard waiting (before the awards ceremony). It was really suspenseful this year. I had the flu or something today. Still, I knew I had to try my best today no matter how I felt.
Hannah Noel
He's the equal of Hitchcock in building mood and suspense, a little less obvious than Hitchcock, a little more subtle, a little more intellectual. It was perfect.
Bruce Goldstein
She told us she was in suspense (while writing the book) too, as if she was reading it.
Caroline Leland
You have continual suspense, unfolding letter by letter. You have all these ups and downs in your characters' fortunes. Success or failure is only seconds away, and it's in their own hands. You have character and action built right in.
Rachel Sheinkin
David Morrell is a master of suspense. He wields it like a stiletto - knows just where to stick it and how to turn it. If you're reading Morrell, you're sitting on the edge of your seat.
Michael Connelly
It's kind of frustrating at this point. The fact that I don't know my results is not that important. The suspense is killing me, but I'm more bummed about the results that are in.
Jared Goldschen
The toy is so magical that we want to keep a little suspense around it.
Neil Friedman
We all live in suspense, from day to day, from hour to hour; in other words, we are the hero of our own story.
Mary Mccarthy
It was a classic case of suspense that wasn't brought to closure until their hands went up.

Everyone seems to have his or her pick on who will be the next James Bond. That's because Bond films resonate with movie-goers. Bond, himself, is suave and elegant, and the films are always edgy and suspenseful. Those are the reasons why these action-thrillers remain contemporary and never fail to make an impact with audiences.
Calvin Ayre
That's fine by me, to have suspense, to see people daring, attacking.
Christian Prudhomme
We have come out of the ice. As for the outcome, let it be a suspense. I am meeting him again tomorrow.

In California, they like to pigeonhole you. From the time I began working for Hitchcock, they decided I was a big suspense man. On other occasions, I've had fantasies of bittersweet romantic stories. I think I'd enjoy writing a good comedy score, but I've never had the luck to be offered such films. Mancini gets the cheerful ones.
Bernard Herrmann
The film can't be confined to just one genre; it starts light, moves to dramatic and has a suspenseful ending.
