A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices.
William Lyon Phelps
Adolescence is society's permission slip for combining physical maturity with psychological irresponsibility.
Terri Apter
All day long the door of the sub-conscious remains just ajar; we slip through to the other side, and return again, as easily and secretly as a cat.
Walter de La Mare
America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.
George W. Bush
At this period the enthusiasm of the amateur was fast giving way to a more steady commercial instinct, and I let no opportunity slip of improving my position, but I felt that I was still labouring under the disadvantage of not having acquired some technical profession.
Henry Bessemer
Do not allow to slip away from you freedoms the people who came before you won with such hard knocks.
David Herbert Lawrence
Do not trust your memory; it is a net full of holes; the most beautiful prizes slip through it.
Georges Duhamel
Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them.
Roger von Oech
Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people's urgent needs. We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go forward now together.
Gerald R. Ford
Events that are predestined require but little management. They manage themselves. They slip into place while we sleep, and suddenly we are aware that the thing we fear to attempt, is already accomplished.
Amelia Barr
Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things - it almost becomes second nature to do so.
Adam Garcia
For instance, if you're playing a record with drums - horns would sound nice to enhance it so you get a record with horns and slip it in at certain times.
Grandmaster Flash
I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.
Deborah Bull
I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.
Kristin Hersh
I had a one day slip, Matt. So what do you do? You get up and you go on, and you try not to do it again.
Liza Minnelli
I have before me a newspaper slip on which a writer expresses the opinion that no one should be allowed to possess more than one million dollars' worth of property.
William Graham Sumner
I have friends who are leading men, and they're only ever allowed to play leading men of a certain type. But as a character actor, there's a wider variety of projects available. On the big Hollywood films, all they care about is having their lead in place, so it's actually easier for someone like me to slip in. And I'm happy to do so.
Eddie Marsan
I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.
Martin Gore
I never take anything for granted. I may slip any minute.
Eartha Kitt
I noticed this process of waking, and predicted with terrifying logic that one of these years not far away I would be awake continuously and never slip back, and never be free of myself again.
Annie Dillard
