Sentences with INEPT (5)

The life which had been so charming that he could not bear to leave it now seemed inept; he was seized with a distaste for the cafes, the restaurants with their ill-cooked food, the shabby way in which they all lived.
Of Human Bondage W. Somerset Maugham 1995
For the voice of God, whatever it is, is not that stammering, inept tradition which the people holds.
Lay Morals Robert Louis Stevenson 2010
The man who would say there is no feeling for symbol--no phantasy or Celtic glamour in these weird, puzzling, and yet on all sides suggestive tales would thereby be declared inept, inefficient--blind to certain qualities that lie near to grandeur in fanciful literature, or the literature of phantasy, more properly.
Robert Louis Stevenson Alexander H. Japp 2007

The Amateur Cracksman E. W. Hornung 1996

Quotes with INEPT (3)

Douglas Adams The Salmon of Doubt
There is a deeper, more profound reason for this craving for acceptance and glory. Put simply, it's because all writers are fat and/or ugly. And generally socially inept. Me being the notable exception, of course. Writers want to be special, because they're so not. They're losers, overgrown kids who've never escaped from being misfits and who have run away into their own imaginations in an attempt to find self-esteem. Why do you think they all star in their own books? Self included.
Chancery Stone
[Presently, science undergraduates] do not learn to write clearly and briefly, marshalling their points in due and aesthetically satisfying order, and eliminating inessentials. They are inept at those turns of phrase or happy analogy which throw a flying bridge across a chasm of misunderstanding and make contact between mind and mind.
