How to use paragraph in a sentence?

1. Søren Kierkegaard, Asluttende uvidenskabeligt Efterskrift:

   Alas! While the speculative honourable professor explains the entire existence has he in distraction forgotten his own name, that he is a man, purely and simply a man, not a fantastic 38 of a paragraph.

2. Christie Brinkley:

   Did you ever notice when you read a magazine profile on a woman usually the first paragraph will include her age and often marital status and dating or marital history, these are barely if ever mentioned in a profile on a man. The implications and rules are limitations so yeah maybe we do have to keep proving ourselves, and break the rules and stereotype.

3. Michael Cohen:

   Novartis sent me their contract, which stated specifically that they wanted me to lobby. That they wanted me to provide access to government, including the president, that paragraph was crossed out by me, initialed, and written in my own handwriting that says I will not lobby or do government relations work.

4. Jason Sudeikis:

   I'll have a better understanding of why in a year, and an even better one in two, and an even greater one in five, and it'll go from being, you know, a book of my life to becoming a chapter to a paragraph to a line to a word to a doodle.

5. Donald Trump:

   I said, 'you know, I think I can take that paragraph and just use it in my speech,'.
