To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.
Today baseball is currently enjoying a run of more than 14 years without interruption, a record that would have been inconceivable in the 1990s.

My family pride is something inconceivable. I can't help it. I was born sneering.
Literature - creative literature - unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.

It is inconceivable to me that a million or three million or half a million human beings will think and feel precisely the same way on any single subject.
The freedom to express yourself without fear - that perhaps is something we in the U.S. take for granted. It's almost inconceivable to think we would be afraid to express our opinions or thoughts, but that's not true for all parts of the world now, and certainly not before World War II.
I used to go around looking as frumpy as possible because it was inconceivable you could be attractive as well as be smart. It wasn't until I started being myself, the way I like to turn out to meet people that I started to get any work.
