Examples of unimaginable in a Sentence

  1. Georges Bataille:

    To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them.

  2. James Conroy:

  5. Joseph Dunford:
