And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.
David Bohm
Barbara Boxer is the most bitterly partisan, most anti-defense senator in the United States Senate today. I know that because I've had the unpleasant experience of having to serve with her.
John McCain
Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.

Lillian Hellman

Kenneth Starr
Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.
Quentin Crisp
Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.

Hills are unpleasant, so I like to get them over with as quickly as possible.
Bob Bartlett
I always found the film world unpleasant. It's all about the schedule, and never really flew for me.
