I never had a rejection slip in my life.
Truman Capote

Why don't I just step out and slip into something more spectacular?

Scar tissue has no character. It's not like skin. It doesn't show age or illness or pallor or tan. It has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. It's like a slip cover. It shields and disguises what's beneath. That's why we grow it we have something to hide.
Susanna Kaysen
Image
Willie said normal was boring and that I should be grateful that I had a touch of spice. She said no one cared about boring people, and when they died, they were forgotten, like something that slips behind the dresser.
Ruta Sepetys
Image
We will not forget so as to be able to rejoice we will rejoice and therefore let those memories (of wrongs suffered) slip out of our minds!
Miroslav Volf

...it's as empty as a merchant's soul. Sorry, Kheldar, it's just an old expression. That's all right, Beldin, Silk forgave him grandly. These little slips of the tongue are common in the very elderly.
David Eddings

I like nudging readers into a slightly different perspective, but in a sly way - I want to be the writer who slips a stiletto in and out, to make so swift and clean a cut, it's not until a chapter ends that the reader looks down and sees she's bleeding and asks what happened.

Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.
John Knox

He slips . . . but manages to regroup himself.
Dan Maskell
Image
We are here to witness. There is nothing else to do with those mute materials we do not need. Until Larry teaches his stone to talk, until God changes his mind, or until the pagan gods slip back to their hilltop groves, all we can do with the whole inhuman array is watch it.
Annie Dillard
Image
Sometimes while you wait for what you think is better, Philomene said, what is good enough slips away.
Lalita Tademy
Image
In chess, knowledge is a very transient thing. It changes so fast that even a single mouse-slip sometimes changes the evaluation.
Viswanathan Anand
Image
There is no substitute to taking a lot of a catches as a youngster if you want to do slip catching - you've got to catch, catch, catch. And more than doing the normal stuff, you have to vary your catching - you've got to take some catches with the tennis ball, you got to take some closer, some further away.
Rahul Dravid

... my today's self perpetually slips out of any hold of it that I may try to take.
Gilbert Ryle
Image
Unless we fix certain hours in the day for prayer, it easily slips from our memory.
John Calvin
Image
The moment that you give gratitude is the moment that you find happiness. The moment that you lose gratitude your happiness will vanish and slip through your fingers
Rasheed Ogunlaru

Looking back, I could not point to one special time and say, There! That's what is amazing. We can change completely and not recognize it. We think terrible events have made us into stone. But love slips in like a chisel - and suddenly it is an ax, breaking us into pieces from the inside.
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Image
It fortifies my soul to know That, though I perish, Truth is so: That, howsoe'er I stray and range, Whate'er I do, Thou dost not change. I steadier step when I recall That, if I slip Thou dost not fall.
Arthur Hugh Clough
Image
You think, 'Here's something I can hold on to,' but it always slips away.
Tim Tharp
Image
I take this evanescence and lubricity of all objects, which lets them slip through our fingers then when we clutch hardest, to be the most unhandsome part of our condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The years go by one after the other time slips past us with out our being aware of it we grow old like ordinary men and we shall end like them.
Louis XIV
Image
Just because of that one disastrous blind date she had last year, where the guy turned out to be fifty-nine, not thirty-nine (He claimed it was a typo. Yeah, I’m sure his finger just happened to slip two spaces to the left).
Sophie Kinsella
Image
I don't think there is a need of the categorization 'woman writing'. I think in some sense writers lost their gender when they walk into the world of words I believe that writers ought to be able to slip under the skins of both men and women. Only then will the writing and the characters have credibility and strength.
Anita Nair

How did we go - in a relatively short amount of time - from Audrey Hepburn to Kim Kardashian? I don't know how that happened. Like did we all collectively slip and hit our heads as a society? Why are we accepting garbage as nourishment? I don't know what's going on.
