Do you see the black line high above the Volga? Those are the cranes in flight. My thoughts, too, fly away into the distance." She realised halfway that this strange explanation was unconvincing, and only pursued it because she did not wish to tell the truth. "I wanted to ask you, Vera, about the letters you wrote to me." "I am ill and weak; you saw what an attack I had yesterday.
It wasn't a certain soothing tonal quality that made you forget all the things you'd been trying not to remember. There is something so futile and unconvincing about an attempted description of an intangible thing. Some call it personality; some call it magnetism; some a rhythm sense; and some, genius. It's all these things, and none of them. Whatever it is, she had it.
Middleheath's opening address to the jury for the defence was brief, and, to sharp legal ears, vague and unconvincing.

Sick at heart, he faltered his answer, and in his own ears his voice sounded strange, and dull, and unconvincing. "You think I I stole it?" "What else am I to think? What will the police think?
I am confirmed in my view that the passage on the unconvincing nature of religions proceeded from Ibn Moqaffa by a few couplets in the Shahnama. The king of India called Kaid has several dreams which are interpreted to him by the sage Mihran.
