Slyly, banteringly, but also overbearingly, the critic - the one who does not swallow anything whole, who waits until posterity has consecrated it before... howling - is among those who howl their admiration the way they howl their insults: don't be afraid, don't tremble - the beast doesn't have any nails or teeth, or even brain: it is stuffed.
Paul Gauguin

The world is alive, blinking and clicking, winking at us slyly, inviting us to get up and dance to the music that’s been playing since the beginning of time, if you bend all the way down and put your ear to the ground to listen for it.
Shauna Niequist

If we ignore it the truth that God is love may slyly come to mean for us the converse, that love is God.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Stomach: A slave that must accept everything that is given to it, but which avenges wrongs as slyly as does the slave.
Emile Souvestre

Actually I'm taking her for a ride, I say slyly, inching my hand up the back of Ella's leg and she slaps the back of my head playfully. I'm taking you for a ride in my car. And you think I'm the pervert.

And as Prince Ramil has insulted you by choosing another wife than the one you proposed for him, you'll want to cast him out too, she suggested slyly. Oh, undoubtedly, murmed Ramil. Do cast me out.
