knowing

1 I went back to my seat, knowing I’d made an irrecoverable mess of things.

2 I kept my membership in the gang, knowing that for as long as I was under its influence, I would never go to school.

3 “Ten weeks in the hospital, and no one here knowing. But she promised we would meet you. At the wedding. And here you are.”

4 I mean, part of it’s just knowing that Morgan quit the band.

5 She didn’t want Mama knowing about the weapons, or about the way she still thought about Sigurd all the time, so she kept them at Kin’s.

6 And,” he added, fatigue and defeat glazing his eyes, “having your boy hang, knowing he will, nothing worse can happen to a man.”

7 I’m feeling a little more comfortable, knowing this is all part of what happens next.

8 I kinda like people not knowing who I am.

9 Just knowing that I’ll be somewhere new makes me feel good.

10 On top of this stain there was the torture of knowing that Arthur was kind, simple and upright—of knowing that he was always on the edge of hurting Arthur dreadfully, although he loved him.

11 Pappa said “everything” with a meaningful weightiness, and Rishi nodded solemnly, knowing what he meant.

12 It was the chill of knowing they had used something they loved—the study of physics—to build the deadliest weapon in human history.

13 But Mr. Loomis, already knowing I had gone that way, led him back to the house.

14 He had, I supposed, used them to assure himself of the freedom of the house; even more, for the defiance of knowing he had the liberty of motion, unknown to his masters.

15 When Florence Dean was home, I would follow her from room to room as she cleaned, talking about anything that came to mind, knowing that she would always listen.

16 He did like much of what Newman had to say, though, and felt some security knowing that someone else not only had doubts but also wrote about them publicly.

17 Thomas looked at his watch, realizing with horror what he’d missed, knowing what Alby was about to say before he said it.

18 I eye the empty IV pole warily, knowing my first of many rounds of antibiotics over the next month is exactly an hour and nine minutes away.

19 He’s moving fast, knowing they’re on borrowed time, quick to follow the lead when Alex groans and pulls at his shoulders to change their positions.

20 He stared up at the ceiling and listened to the sound of her breath entering and leaving her body, knowing that soon she would be asleep.
