As a young teenager I looked desperately for things to read that might excuse me or assure me I wasn't the only one, that might confirm an identity I was unhappily piecing together.
Edmund White
Clap an extinguisher upon your irony if you are unhappily blessed with a vein of it.
Charles Lamb
Dying is only one thing to be sad over... Living unhappily is something else.
Morrie Schwartz
I spent eighteen months as a graduate student in physics at Columbia University, waiting unhappily for an opportunity to work in a laboratory and wondering if I should continue in physics.
Sidney Altman
I'm the only American alive or dead who presided unhappily over the removal of a vice president and a president.
Alexander Haig
If we don't stop somewhere, if we don't accept an unhappy compromise, unhappy for both sides, if we don't learn how to unhappily coexist and contain our burned sense of injustice - if we don't learn how to do that, we end up in a doomed state.
Amos Oz

C. Northcote Parkinson
On the morrow the horizon was covered with clouds- a thick and impenetrable curtain between earth and sky, which unhappily extended as far as the Rocky Mountains. It was a fatality!

Tom Stoppard
The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.

Olivia Wilde
There is a tone of morality throughout the rural districts of England, which is unhappily wanting in the large towns and the centres of particular manufactures.
Henry Mayhew
We do a lot of shows for young people who have probably never been to the theater before and they are learning about the Holocaust, which unhappily, many of them do not know about.
