Explicit Quotations
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
Walt Disney
What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.
William Blake
Frank and explicit - that is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the minds of others.
Benjamin Disraeli
When we come to images or memories or thoughts, speculation, while always closely related to practice, is more explicit, and it is in fact not immediately obvious that such processes can be described in any sense as practical.
Samuel Alexander

A widow's refusal of a lover is seldom so explicit as to exclude hope.
Samuel Richardson
The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not inhabit only the inner man, or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
In the first place, Descartes stands for the most explicit and uncompromising dualism between mind and matter.
James M. Baldwin
I've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part, these communications took place before my marriage, though some have sadly took place after. To be clear, I have never met any of these women or had physical relationships at any time.
Anthony Weiner
