If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.

If we manage to keep track of a Bombus queen after she has left her feeding place, we may discover the snug little hideout which she has fixed up for herself when she woke up from her winter sleep.

If the net force on some body is directed always toward some fixed point, the center, then there is no torque on the body with respect to the center, and so the angular momentum of the body about the center is constant.

If x is held fixed, then the Bessel functions are entire functions of α.

If G is a group, and g is a fixed element of G, then the conjugation map

If a rotating frame is chosen so that just the angular position of an object is held fixed, more complicated motion, such as elliptical and open orbits, appears because the centripetal and centrifugal forces will not balance.

If each pixel on the display actually contains three rectangular subpixels of red, green, and blue, in that fixed order, then things on the screen that are smaller than one full pixel in size can be rendered by lighting only one or two of the subpixels.

If a display does not have the type of fixed pixels that ClearType expects, text rendered with ClearType enabled actually looks worse than type rendered without it.

If someone sees something completely different than another, our language prevents us from acknowledging the other's point of view by limiting our perception to fixed states.

:" If a period fixed by weeks, months, and years does not commence from the beginning of a week, month, or year, it ends with the ending of the day which proceeds the day of the last week, month, or year which corresponds to that on which it began to commence.

Tensor products: If C denotes the category of vector spaces over a fixed field, with linear maps as morphisms, then the tensor product defines a functor C × C → C which is covariant in both arguments.

If an equation can be put into the form f ( x ) = x, and a solution x is an attractive fixed point of the function f, then one may begin with a point x < sub > 1 </ sub > in the basin of attraction of x, and let x < sub > n + 1 </ sub > = f ( x < sub > n </ sub >) for n ≥ 1, and the sequence

( If great wealth is not diluted, the positions in society tend to be much more fixed and opportunities to make an individual success are lower.

# If G is any group acting smoothly on the manifold M, then it acts on the vector fields, and the vector space of vector fields fixed by the group is closed under the Lie bracket and therefore also forms a Lie algebra.

If two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.

If the revenue the firm is receiving is greater than its total variable cost ( R > VC ) then the firm is covering all variable cost plus there is additional revenue (" contribution "), which can be applied to fixed costs.

If the arity of the operators is fixed, the result is a syntax lacking parentheses or other brackets that can still be parsed without ambiguity.

At least two assumptions are necessary for the validity of the standard model: first, that supply and demand are independent ; and second, that supply is " constrained by a fixed resource "; If these conditions do not hold, then the Marshallian model cannot be sustained.

If a traveling wave has a fixed shape that repeats in space or in time, it is a periodic wave.

If an inconsistency is encountered, the program can immediately halt, so that the bug can be located and fixed.

If the management ethos is to reward the number of bugs fixed, then some developers may quickly write sloppy code knowing they can fix the bugs later and be rewarded for it, whereas careful, perhaps " slower " developers do not get rewarded for the bugs that were never there.

If the waveform is a pure sine wave, the relationships between peak-to-peak, peak, mean, and RMS amplitudes are fixed and known, as they are for any continuous periodic wave.

If there is a fixed point, we can take that as the origin, and the affine transformation reduces to a linear transformation.
