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 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 V is a normed vector space with linear subspace U ( not necessarily closed ) and if is continuous and linear, then there exists an extension of φ which is also continuous and linear and which has the same norm as φ ( see Banach space for a discussion of the norm of a linear map ).

* If V is a normed vector space with linear subspace U ( not necessarily closed ) and if z is an element of V not in the closure of U, then there exists a continuous linear map with ψ ( x ) = 0 for all x in U, ψ ( z ) = 1, and || ψ || = 1 / dist ( z, U ).

If John closed the door, it can also be interpreted as the door was closed by John.

# 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 A is an open or closed subset of R < sup > n </ sup > ( or even Borel set, see metric space ), then A is Lebesgue measurable.

# If A is a Lebesgue measurable set, then it is " approximately open " and " approximately closed " in the sense of Lebesgue measure ( see the regularity theorem for Lebesgue measure ).

If N is a closed normal subgroup of a profinite group G, then the factor group G / N is profinite ; the topology arising from the profiniteness agrees with the quotient topology.

If the set of contacts was closed when the relay was de-energized, then the movement opens the contacts and breaks the connection, and vice versa if the contacts were open.

* From the above property, one can deduce the following: If X is a separable space having an uncountable closed discrete subspace, then X cannot be normal.

If a closed string splits and its two parts later reconnect, its worldsheet will look like a single pipe splitting to two and then reconnecting, which also looks like a torus connected to two pipes ( one representing the ingoing string, and the other — the outgoing one ).

# Σ is closed under complementation: If A is in Σ, then so is its complement,

If the embalmer is unable to do so, or if the family requests otherwise, the funeral home can perform a closed casket service.

If the convex hull of X is a closed set ( as happens, for instance, if X is a finite set or more generally a compact set ), then it is the intersection of all closed half-spaces containing X.
