“Unemployment, with its injustice for the man who seeks and thirsts for employment, who begs for labour and cannot get it, and who is punished for failure he is not responsible for by the starvation of his children--that torture is something that private enterprise ought to remedy for its own sake.”

“Unending Love I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times... In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain, It's ancient tale of being apart or together. As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge, Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time. You become an image of what is remembered forever. You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount. At the heart of time, love of one for another. We have played along side millions of lovers, Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting, the distressful tears of farewell, Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever. Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you The love of all man's days both past and forever: Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life. The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours - And the songs of every poet past and forever.”

“Uneori poate să-ți facă plăcere să fii tras de păr. Ca să vezi cât de ciudată e firea omului. Nu-i cu neputință să te lași târât peste munți și văi - și dacă cineva te întreabă ce ți se întâmplă, tu să răspunzi încântat: Sunt tras de păr! Iar dacă te întreabă: Să nu-ți ajut să scapi? Atunci tu să răspunzi: nu. Și dacă, în sfârșit, te întreabă: Dar cum poți să rabzi să fii tratat așa? Tu să răspunzi: Da, pot, fiindcă ador mâna care mă trage de păr.... Știi tu, Eva, ce înseamnă să speri?”

“Unequal Democracy is the sort of book to which every political scientist should aspire--it is methodologically rigorous, conceptually serious, and above all, it addresses urgent concerns of our fellow citizens. As Bartels shows, much of what we think we know about the politics of economic inequality is dead wrong. Bartels's perplexing and often unexpected discoveries should help refocus the gathering public debate about inequality and what to do about it.”

“Unerring wisdom ordained your lot, and selected for you the safest and best condition. Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances. Be content with such things as you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good.”

“Unerwartet fuhr ihm der Wind ins Gesicht. Farisios Augen brannten. Es fühlte sich für ihn wie ein Schlag an. Der Wind forderte seine Aufmerksamkeit und entlockte ihm ein Seufzen. Natürlich hätte es auch ein Nachkomme von Wirilat sein können, der voller Übermut seine Windmagie an ihm erprobte, doch Farisio glaubte das nicht. Dann hätte er nicht dieses leise Wispern vernommen: Hör zu!”

“UNESCO provides protection for the great cultural institutions. There is something called the intangible cultural heritage list. And the Italians want to put Neapolitan pizza on it. But in order to do that, you have to show that whatever it is that you're trying to protect is under threat. And pizza is totally under threat from Pizza Hut and Domino's...”

“Unexpected doors fly open, unexpected channels are free, and endless avalanches of abundance are poured out upon me, under grace in perfect ways.”

“Unexpected snags can arise on a ride; just as unexpected snags arise in life. But the pain is temporary, the emotions are temporary, and the setbacks can provide the space for a valuable lesson, if we're open to learning. Keep pedaling.”

“Unexpected treat," he said. His eyes fell on Marcus and widened. "I'll be damned. You found him." "Thanks to you," I said. Adrian glanced over at me. A smile started to form-and then instantly dried up. "What happened to your face?" "Oh," I lightly touched the swollen spot. It still smarted but wasn't as painful as it had been earlier. I spoke my next words without thinking. "Marcus hit me.”
