Frequently Asked Questions
What does "near" mean across these quotes?
Closeness in different forms - the sun near the center of the universe, and hundreds of scholars gathered near one school.
Is near always used positively?
Not always. One quote uses it cautiously, describing reluctance to go near a computer at all.
Does the page include any older or literary language?
Yes, one quote uses near in older phrasing, describing time drawing near to the witching hour of night.
Is this page about relationships or physical distance?
Mostly physical and temporal distance - astronomy, crowd size, objects, and time - rather than personal relationships specifically.
Why is a quote about scholars grouped here?
Because it uses "near" as a rough number, describing a school attended by near three hundred students, close to the topic's core sense of Closeness.
Others use near more warily, like keeping distance from a computer, or more ominously, as night draws near to its darkest hour. Together they show how flexible the word really is.
