How to use depict in a sentence?

  1. Ashley Montagu:

    Because women live creatively, they rarely experience the need to depict or write about that which to them is a primary experience and which men know only at a second remove. Women create naturally, men create artificially.

  2. Roland Kelts:

    None of them have even seen the film, and while it is based on one man's story, it's a feature, not a documentary. There are plenty of movies that depict the brutality and inhumanity of war, unbroken.

  3. William Ralph Inge:

    We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.

  4. Krzysztof Kieślowski:

    Why did they devise censorship? To show a world which doesn’t exist, an ideal world, or what they envisaged as the ideal world. And we wanted to depict the world as it was.

  5. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew:

    Our paper bills and the images of great American leaders and landmarks that they depict have long been a way for us to honor our past and discuss our values, this decision of putting a woman on the $ 10 bill reflects our aspirations for the future as much as the reflections of the past.
