At first I thought he had missed.

I saw the clergyman kneel for a moment by the twitching body of the man he had shot, then run back to his position.

Later I would remember what this pompous little man had told me about the worth of a ticket.

One afternoon, upon receiving permission and the necessary instructions from the clerk, I had visited the toilet adjoining the hall.

For although I had crossed a corner of the hall on my way to the toilet I still could not tell for sure how far to the rear the darkness extended.

I could observe the two fans down at the end, but their size in themselves meant nothing to me as long as I had no measure of comparison.

I had for some time been hoping, in vain, for one of the dim figures to pass between the fan vents and myself.

It was, I felt, possible that they were men who, having received no tickets for that day, had remained in the hall, to sleep perhaps, in the corners farthest removed from the counter with its overhead light.

And I had hardly finished my business in the toilet on the aforementioned occasion when the lights in that place, like the hall lights controlled from the switch in the office, flicked off and on impatiently.

I had signed it off on the forms.

Although I had been inside it I had not yet seen it functioning.

I must confess that I prefer the Liberal who is personally affected, who is willing to send his own children to a mixed school as proof of his faith.

Whether you experienced the passion of desire I have, of course, no way of knowing, nor indeed have I wished with even the most fleeting fragment of a wish to know, for the fact that one constitutes by one's mere existence so to speak the proof of some sort of passion makes any speculation upon this part of one's parents' experience more immodest, more scandalizing, more deeply unwelcome than an obscenity from a stranger.

Along these lines, the particular point that sensitivity in literature leads to sensitivity in human relations would require more proof than I have seen.

The simple meaning of the phrase is that someone wondering whether or not he or she exists is, in and of itself, proof that something, an " I ", exists to do the thinking.

" And then he wrote, intriguingly: " I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this proposition, which this margin is too narrow to contain.

:“ If an integer n is greater than 2, then has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c. I have a truly marvelous proof of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain .”

In his 1996 book, I Was Wrong, he admitted that the first time he actually read the Bible all the way through was while he was in prison, and that it made him realize he had taken certain passages out of context — passages which he had used as " proof texts " to back up his prosperity teachings.

“ And now I shall again recite the words which I have spoken in proof of this point.

Although there is no proof Shapur I was a Manichaean, he tolerated the spread of Manicheanism and refrained from persecuting it in his empire's boundaries.

I think that in all essential respects you have given the best possible proof & this does not happen frequently.

No proof could be found that Elizabeth was involved and she was released and retired to the countryside until the death of her sister, Mary I of England.

In like manner, I apprehend, the sole evidence it is possible to produce that anything is desirable, is that people do actually desire it … No reason can be given why the general happiness is desirable, except that each person, so far as he believes it to be attainable, desires his own happiness … we have not only all the proof which the case admits of, but all which it is possible to require, that happiness is a good: that each person's happiness is a good to that person, and the general happiness, therefore, a good to the aggregate of all persons .”

Though I admire the structured thought of theology ( Anselm's proof in the Fides Quaerens Intellectum, for instance ) it is to religion no more than counterpoint exercises are to music.

“ For man, and especially the Proficient, is not the Couplement of Soul and body: the proof is that man can be disengaged from the body and disdain its nominal goods .” ( Enneads I. 4. 14 ) The human who has achieved happiness will not be bothered by sickness, discomfort, etc., as his focus is on the greatest things.

When he found any body proof, against pecuniary temptations, which alass!

: For my part, I was never an admirer of Uncle Tom, nor of his type of goodness ; but I believe that there were lots of old Negroes as foolishly good as he ; the proof of which is that they knowingly stayed and worked on the plantations that furnished sinews for the army which was fighting to keep them enslaved .”

The other one was published by Gauss in 1799 and it was mainly geometric, but it had a topological gap, filled by Alexander Ostrowski in 1920, as discussed in Smale 1981 ( Smale writes, "... I wish to point out what an immense gap Gauss ' proof contained.

( And this proposition is generally true for all progressions and for all prime numbers ; the proof of which I would send to you, if I were not afraid to be too long.

under the circumstances I was only too willing to confess all.

To this effect I had already severed all connections which bound me to my former existence.

`` That's all I ask ''!!

If I hadn't got Nate stopped when I did, my duds'd all be shot plumb to hell!!

It's all I ask, Stevens ''.

`` Moriarty '', my driver suddenly exclaimed with something so definite, so final in his tone I once more repeated the absurdity, mustering all my latent powers of hypocrisy to sound convinced.

`` Hell, that's all right, buddy '', the Indian ( I now guessed ) said.

`` No, I remembered reading about you in the papers and that you lived here, and when it happened all I could think of was '' -- This time she stopped the rush of words herself.
