[...] I for one will try to reassure myself that “things aren’t that bad yet.” [...]

[...] They aren’t all that mysterious. [...]

“But there aren’t any steps, are there?”

[...] There are certain sessions I’ve labelled ‘fill-in’ sessions in my mind for some time now, or thought of them as covering ‘floating material.’ They aren’t book sessions or specifically personal ones. [...]

[...] Such factors simply aren’t usually considered in “modern” social analyses of people’s behavior—yet sometimes they might actually play a very important role. [...]

[...] This sort of news always surprises us, I guess, because we must be more isolated than we know; also, the sales aren’t all that great, so I always wonder just what the person bases such statements on when making them. [...]

[...] But the incident made me think that it’s a pity nursing students aren’t taught valid facts of life, instead of the medical dogmas that often prolong illness. [...]

[...] “Those aren’t the kind of thoughts I want,” that mental statement is a help. [...]

[...] Religious questions connected with evolution aren’t stressed as much as some might like, although they aren’t ignored either — but to go very far into religious history would lead away from the focus I’ve chosen.

(But to some degree many scientists outside physics regard such esoteric particle relationships as being of theoretical interest mainly within that discipline; the concepts aren’t seen as posing any threat to biology, zoology, or geology, for instance, nor do they tinker with naïve realism. [...]

[...] Dr. K. wants Dr. Sobel from Ithaca to examine Jane Friday even if blood tests aren’t in yet: “I can give him the results over the phone later.” [...]

Now it’s suspected that, in many cases at least, some of the fundamental laws of nature aren’t directly available to us — that often our world presents to us only an approximate representation of its basic qualities. [...]
