How to use distinctly in a sentence?

1. Herman Melville:

   Where does the violet tint end and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blending enter into the other. So with sanity and insanity.

2. Blaise Pascal:

   Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too. This is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

3. Wilhelmina Delco:

4. Jeffrey Arnold:

5. Danny Hajjar:

   I always tick' other' and then write in Middle Eastern, Lebanese or American Indian, i remember, distinctly, when I was applying to high school -- I went to a private high school -- I ticked' other' and the admissions person asked me what I was, and when I told them, they changed it to White. I still can't believe that happened. That was really something.
