Strictly

Famous quotes containing the word strictly:

    Thoroughly to unfold the labyrinths of the human mind is an arduous task.... In order to dive into those recesses and lay them open to the reader in a striking and intelligible manner, ‘tis necessary to assume a certain freedom in writing, not strictly perhaps within the limits prescribed by rules.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    The monkeys winked too much and were afraid of snakes. The zebras,
    supreme in their abnormality; the elephants with their fog-colored skin
    and strictly practical appendages
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The human imagination ... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
