I can't say there was a last straw because there have been so many straws, but certainly the horrors at the border, separating children from their parents, the torture, the kidnapping and the incarceration of them in cages was unthinkable, unbearable. When an opportunity presented itself to me to do something, I needed to take a leap.

Mary L. Trump

Abby Johnson

Life Hope Future

Amin Maalouf

Youth You Who

The boxing world can be a very lonely one, and I'm so grateful every day to have Dad and my whole family watching my back. It would be unthinkable if I didn't have their support.

Amir Khan

Family Would World

Andre Gide

Age Without Wit

Andrew Greeley

Your You Use

You do now have one in three people, as shown by the famous Carlton Monarchy debate poll, saying they want to get rid of the Monarchy. That was unthinkable even three, four years ago.

Anthony Holden

Famous Car You

Anthony Scaramucci

Power Zen Us

Consciousness, much like our feelings, is based on a representation of the body and how it changes when reacting to certain stimuli. Self-image would be unthinkable without this representation.

Antonio Damasio

Archibald MacLeish

God Unthinkable UN

In my min,d there is arguably a greater risk of a default on the debt of a U.S. state than there is on the debt of a euro-area member. I consider it unthinkable that a euro-area country would default.

Athanasios Orphanides

Great Would Unthinkable

They were so exhausted and seasick and all they could do was crawl up those beaches. And thousands of them lay dead in no time at all. It's unthinkable.

Bill Bryson

Unthinkable UN Try

Americans who have parents raised during the Great Depression or World War II understand how drastically things have changed on the home front.

Bill O'Reilly

War Home Great

Brigitte Macron

Writes Write Wit

Brooke Baldwin

Men Home Family

Charles Krauthammer

War Vent Unthinkable

Chris Eubank Sr.

Love Great Future

We were spending American blood and treasure to liberate the people of Afghanistan from one of the most brutal regimes on the face of the earth. That we would not use that moment to press for women's rights seems to me unthinkable.

Condoleezza Rice

The underbelly of the human psyche, what is often referred to as our dark side, is the origin of every act of self-sabotage. Birthed out of shame, fear, and denial, it misdirects our good intentions and drives us to unthinkable acts of self-destruction and not-so-unbelievable acts of self-sabotage.

Debbie Ford

It is absolutely unacceptable to single out any political group - right, left, or center - and say we're going to target them. That is unthinkable.

Grace Lee Boggs

James Nesbitt

John Darnielle

I'm trying to trick people into thinking about the unthinkable by using pop culture images.

John Shirley

It is not just shameful for a contemporary American poet to use rhymes, it is unthinkable. It seems banal to him; he fears banality worse than anything, and therefore, he uses free verse - though free verse is no guarantee against banality.

Joseph Brodsky

In September of 2015, I did the unthinkable: I used my second-ever runway show to bring awareness to the Black Lives Matter movement. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do professionally. It was lonely.

Kerby Jean-Raymond

For many years prior to the 1990s, European integration was embraced and supported by a large majority of citizens. A united Europe, bound by commonly-held democratic values, was perceived as an essential and effective buffer against the Soviet empire. A united Europe made a repeat of the First and Second World Wars almost unthinkable.

Klaus Schwab

For many, to live in a universe that may have no purpose, and no creator, is unthinkable.

Mary L. Trump
