How can you use “lilla” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Writing last Sunday in the New York Times Magazine , New York University politics professor Mark Lilla claims to have discovered why the Sixties still incite debate in America (under the guise of the culture wars) whereas such matters have long since been resolved in Europe: Americans naively make a religion out of democracy.

  • Hence feminism, or rather, in Lilla's kind words, "the joyless militancy of American feminists"; multiculturalism; gay rights; and all the other movements which subject personal relations to "the exacting scrutiny of pure democratic principles."

  • Undergirding Lilla's hesitations about the spread of democracy into various corners of life are, of course, two Europeans--the two he credits with first descrying the worrisome "existential character of the American democratic faith," the Frenchman Alexis De Toqueville and the Englishwoman Frances Trollope.
