Actually, she is a sad beauty, I believe.

Of course, males play a role there, but believe me when I say you wouldn't enjoy yourself one bit on Eromonga.

`` I don't believe I'll play any more neither ''.

I suspect that there are far more unreconstructed ones than the North likes to believe.

and if a poll had been taken immediately following the dispatch of troops to Little Rock I believe the majority would have been for the Old South.

I believe that what I do has some effect on his actions and I have learned, in a way, to commune with drunks, but certainly my actions seem to resemble more nearly the performance of a rain dance than the carrying out of an experiment in physics.

The persistent horror of having a malformed child has, I believe, been reduced, not because we have gained any control over this misfortune, but precisely because we have learned that we have so little control over it.

Our Northern brethren also I believe felt a little tender under those censures ; ;

That John Locke's philosophy of the social contract fathered the American Revolution with its Declaration of Independence, I believe, we generally accept.

They have indicated the direction but they have not been explicit enough, I believe, in pointing out Faulkner's independence, his questioning if not indeed challenging the Southern tradition.

It is to say rather, I believe, that he has brought to bear on the history, the traditions, and the lore of his region a critical, skeptical mind -- the same mind which has made of him an inveterate experimenter in literary form and technique.

It would be profitable, I believe, to read these realistic humorists alongside Faulkner's works, the thought being not that he necessarily read them and owed anything to them directly, but rather that they dealt a hundred years ago with a class of people and a type of life which have continued down to our time, to Faulkner's time.

For innocence, of all the graces of the spirit, is I believe the one most to be prayed for.

I believe that the industrial countries are ready to participate actively in supplementing the efforts of the developing nations to achieve progress.

I believe it deficient in certain particulars.

I would like to believe that my ability warranted this advancement.

Speaking as a non-Jew I believe that its primary contribution is in the realm of future policy.

Consequently, on October 31, 1896, Mrs. King wrote to Thompson, quite against her daughter's wishes, asking him not to `` recommence a correspondence which I believe has been dropped for some weeks ''.

This man, Tom said, had the play shut up in his desk, I believe, and when Tom sat down, he pulled it out and apologetically told Tom that they wouldn't be able to use it.

His fellow Virginian, George Washington, had stated, `` I believe no event was ever received with more heartfelt joy ''.

I believe that these proposals, however meritorious in terms of world needs, go far beyond our capacity to realize them.

I believe it is an area in which professional planners have failed to set adequate guide posts ; ;

`` I mean, we don't have any way to get there and we can't expect you to quit work just to take us to town ''.

There's someone there I have to see.

For weeks I wandered about this neighborhood of warehouses and garages, truck terminals and taxi repair shops, gasoline pumps and longshoremen's lunch counters, yet never did I cease to feel myself a stranger there.

`` I can't leave him there.

`` Might get there faster walkin' '', Lord drawled, `` seein' as how I got a busted front spring.

But there's one thing I never seen or heard of, one thing I just don't think there is, and that's a sportin' way o' killin' a man ''!!

I let up on the accelerator, only to gradually reach again the 60 m.p.h. which would, I hoped, overhaul Herry and the blonde, and as there were cars whose drivers apparently had something more important to catch than had I, Mrs. Major Roebuck settled down to practicing on Corporal Johnson the kittenish wiles she would need when making her duty call on Colonel and Mrs. Somebody in Sante Fe.

Just as I got to my knees, there was again the sound of the fence stretching, and I had time only to start taking my kneeling posture seriously.

I had come to New Orleans two years earlier after graduating college, partly because I loved the city and partly because there was quite a noted art colony there.

I saw a dozen or so other outriggers moored there.

`` I got Margaret Rider in one of them old box cars down there by the quarry ''.

Besides I heard her old uncle that stays there has been doin' it ''.

I consider it the center of the world and make it a point to be there once a year ''.

I am certainly not adequately trained to describe or enlarge on human fears, but there are certain features of the fears dispelled by scientific explanations that stand out quite clearly.

`` What I am saying does not mean that there will henceforth be no form in art.

`` I made you what you are '', Gavin whispered.

Now, are you going to take me or am I supposed to walk ''??

If it were not for an old professor who made me read the classics I would have been stymied on what to do, and now I understand why they are classics ; ;

If I even hint at it do you think it will matter that you are his nephew -- and not even a blood nephew ''??

When I show up he will know you are a good wife to have told him about it ''.

Ballet dancer: Protests, tears, and `` take what you want, Nicolas, I am a dancer, you are a poet, it is all beautiful ''.

But in our case -- and neither my wife nor I have extreme views on integration, nor are we given to emotional outbursts -- the situation has ruined one or two valued friendships and come close to wrecking several more.

and I have heard many say that they are content to earn a half or a third as much as they could up North because they so much prefer the quieter habits of their home town.

I have just asked these questions in the Pentagon, in the White House, in offices of key scientists across the country and aboard the submarines that prowl for months underwater, with neat rows of green launch tubes which contain Polaris missiles and which are affectionately known as `` Sherwood Forest ''.

I asked the same questions inside the launch-control rooms of an Atlas missile base in Wyoming, where officers who wear sidearms are manning the `` commit buttons '' that could start a war -- accidentally or by design -- and in the command centers where other pistol-packing men could give orders to push such buttons.

I think that we are here also talking of the kind of fear that a young boy has for a group of boys who are approaching at night along the streets of a large city.

I have chosen to use the word `` mimesis '' in its Christian rather than its classic implications and to discover in the concrete forms of both art and myth powers of theological expression which, as in the Christian mind, are the direct consequence of involvement in historical experience, which are not reserved, as in the Greek mind, only to moments of theoretical reflection.

Both I and my feelings come up out of a chain of events that fan out into the past into sources that are ultimately very unlike the entity which I now am.

I leave out of account the question of the best interests of the children, the question of what their best interests really are.

I will assume that we are all aware of the continuing struggle, with its limited and precarious success, toward conservatism.

What I want to point out here is that all of them are ex-liberals, or modified liberals, with perhaps one exception.

I am not making a clinical judgment here, for such personal tragedies are real and are commonplace in the analyst's consulting room, but literature makes a different claim upon our sympathies than tragedy in life.

There is probably some significance in the fact that two of the best incest stories I have encountered in recent years are burlesques of the incest myth.
