Famous quotes containing the word slim:
“The pickings are pretty slim when you have to play the part of a housewife who doesnt go out of her apartment because shes afraid shes going to get mugged, or a woman who turns into her brother, who is a murderer.”
—Shirley MacLaine (b. 1934)
“This girl borrowed no dim light of a star
Nor ever night held her in a dark mesh,
A slim bloom she stood of the first larkspur,
A wind of spring fluttered in her white flesh.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“Expecting me to grovel,
she carefully covers both feet
with the hem of her skirt.
She pretends to hide
a coming smile
and wont look straight at me.
When I talk to her,
she chats with her friend
in cross tones.
Even this slim girls rising anger
delights me,
let alone her deep love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
