Mr. Beresford put down the Daily Mail, which he was reading, and applauded with somewhat unnecessary vigour. He was politely requested by his colleague not to be an ass. Agatha Christie

All our claims for the righteousness of resistance rest on the rightness of the claim that the resisters are acting in the name of justice. And the justice of the cause does not depend on, and is not enhanced by, the virtue of those who make the assertion. It depends first and last on the truth of a description of a state of affairs that is, truly, unjust and unnecessary. Susan Sontag
They spoke very little of their mutual feelings: pretty phrases and warm attentions being probably unnecessary between such tried friends. Thomas Hardy
I took the other road, all right, but only because it was the easy road for me, the way I wanted to go. If I've encountered some unnecessary resistance that's because most of the traffic is going the other way. Edward Abbey

Aldous Huxley
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosphy like art... It has no survival value; rahter it is one of those things that give valuse to survival. Alice Duer Miller
In ridiculing a pathetic human fallacy, which seeks explanation where none need be sought and which multiplies unnecessary assumptions, one should not mimic primitive ontology in order to challenge it. Better to dispose of the needless assumption altogether. This holds true for everything from Noah's flood to the Holocaust. Christopher Hitchens
To say nothing of what you lose, lose, lose, are loosing, man. You fool, you stupid fool ... You've even been insulated from the responsibility of genuine suffering ...
