Slides

Famous quotes containing the word slides:

“We say justly that the weak person is flat, for, like all flat substances, he does not stand in the direction of his strength, that is, on his edge, but affords a convenient surface to put upon. He slides all the way through life.... But the brave man is a perfect sphere, which cannot fall on its flat side and is equally strong every way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Lovers should guard their strangeness. If they forgive too much, all slides into confusion and meanness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“No one to hate except the slim fish of memory
that slides in and out of my brain.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
