Examples of exquisitely in a Sentence

  1. Robert Thompson:

    It is an exquisitely put together thing, one of the reasons it's captivated so many people is the way it's edited. You get to know these characters and they wait one episode, two episodes, three episodes before they drop, like really major, major bits of detail.

  2. Isaac D?Israeli:

    Is a preface exquisitely written? No literary morsel is more delicious. Is the author inveterately dull? It is a kind of preparatory information, which may be very useful. It argues a deficiency of taste to turn over an elaborate preface unread: for it is the attar of the author?s roses, every drop distilled at an immense cost. It is the reason of the reasoning, and the folly of the foolish.

  3. Jeremy DeSilva:

    Mary Leakey made exquisitely detailed maps of the footprint localities. From Mary Leakey map, we were able to approximate where the tracks should be. We began to dig, hoping for the best, but fearing instead that forty years of seasonal rains had washed them away, the soil was hard as cement and it took a hammer and chisel to reach the footprint layer, which we then needed to excavate delicately with a hard-bristled brush and tongue depressor. Fortunately, the footprints were beautifully preserved.

  4. Jonathan Reiner:

    So if I tell you that if you are vaccinated, you have a... 99.999 % chance of not dying from this virus, what else in life gives you that kind of guarantee ? Our vaccines are exquisitely effective and very safe, but the news is just phenomenal with these vaccines, even with the super aggressive Delta variant, our vaccines work and they work really well.

  5. D. H. Lawrence:

    We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us or Venus But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time... Now all this is literally true, as men knew in the great past and as they will know again.
