Elliot Temple misquotes David Deutsch
I also had referee problems. The referee of the paper in which I presented that proof insisted that Turing’s phrase “would naturally be regarded as computable” referred to mathematical naturalness – mathematical intuition – not nature. And so what I had proved wasn’t Turing’s conjecture.

Elliot Temple misquotes song lyrics
Boy My First Love Story You're so so handsome My eyes my eyes are blinded I can't breathe because I'm trembling Oh I feel so embarrassed I can't look at you I feel shy because I've fallen in love What should I do? (What should I do~) About my trembling heart (My trembling heart) (Thump thump thump thump) My heart kept thumping So I couldn't fall asleep at night My close friends tell me That I'm really a helpless fool But as I look at you~~ So tingly tingly my body is trembling gee gee gee gee gee Oh your glittering eyes (oh yeah~) Oh this sweet aroma (oh yeah yeah yeah~) I can't even say anything I'm too embarrassed Do I not have any courage? What would be the right thing to do? Thump thump my heart is anxious as I'm looking at you

Elliot Temple misquotes William Godwin
let us suppose a man to be engaged in the progressive voluptuousness of the most sensual scene. Here, if ever, we may expect sensation to be triumphant. Passion is in this case in its full career. He impatiently shuts out every consideration that may disturb his enjoyment; moral views and dissuasives can no longer obtrude themselves into his mind; he resigns himself, without power of resistance, to his predominant idea. Alas, in this situation, nothing is so easy as to extinguish his sensuality! Tell him at this moment that his father is dead, that he has lost or gained a considerable sum of money, or even that his favourite horse is stolen from the meadow, and his whole passion shall be instantly annihilated: so vast is the power which a mere proposition possesses over the mind of man. So conscious are we of the precariousness of the fascination of the senses that upon such occasions we provide against the slightest interruption.
