I think of the people who commit these acts as children. They're in their 20s, but like certain children, they have been told only one story, over and over. Like most children, they believe in an easily identifiable good and evil, and like most children, they are capable of unthinkable cruelty.

Michael Cunningham

What's wrong with our children? Adults telling children to be honest while lying and cheating. Adults telling children to not be violent while marketing and glorifying violence... I believe that adult hypocrisy is the biggest problem children face in America.

Marian Wright Edelman

What kind of America do people want to leave for their children? What horrors are down the road, stuff that was unthinkable 30 years ago?

Randall Terry

The risk that people pose to wolfdogs is far greater, statistically, than the risk that wolfdogs pose to people. Many are bred in miserable, inhumane conditions, and kept in equally miserable, inhumane conditions.

Annie Lowrey

Bombing is not especially inhumane. War itself is inhumane and the bombing plane, which is used to paralyse industry and transport, is a relatively civilised weapon. 'Normal' or 'legitimate' warfare is just as destructive of inanimate objects and enormously so of human lives.

George Orwell

Unacceptable, maybe. But not unthinkable. Nothing's unthinkable once somebody's thought it.

Robert Silverberg

All our rulers have said that war is unthinkable, and then we think about it almost all the time. We've got to make it unthinkable.

Norman Thomas

in reality we are one and all from the unthinkable first to the no less unthinkable last glued together in a vast imbrication of flesh without breach or fissure

Samuel Beckett

The price of self-destiny is never cheap, and in certain situations it is unthinkable. But to achieve the marvelous, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.

Tom Robbins

Whatever truth we feel compelled to withhold, no matter how unthinkable it is to imagine ourselves telling it, not to is a way of spiritually holding our breath. You can only do it for so long.

Mark Nepo

We cannot teach children the danger of telling lies to men without realising, on the man's part, the danger of telling lies to children. A single untruth on the part of the master will destroy the results of his education.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

We must care to think about the unthinkable things, because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.

J. William Fulbright

It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

One day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Ronald Reagan
