Peter curled his hands into fists at his sides. 'Kiss me,' he said. She leaned towards him slowly, until her face was too close to be in focus. Her hair fell over Peter's shoulder like a curtain and her eyes closed. She smelled like autumn-like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold.

White-crested waves crash on the shore. The masts sway violently, every which way. In the gray sky the gulls are circling like white flakes. Rain squalls blow past like gray slanting sails, and blue gaps open in the sky. The air brightens. A cold silvery evening.

I just see what I think youre like.-Im exactly what I seem to be, if you look closely. You know the only thing that has made the whole thing worthwhile has been those few times... Tom Ford
We do not play on Graves— Because there isn't Room— Besides—it isn't even—it slants And People come— And put a Flower on it— And hang their faces so— We're fearing that their Hearts will drop— And crush our pretty play— And so we move as far As Enemies—away— Just looking round to see how far It is—Occasionally— Emily Dickinson
Throughout this evolution from left to right, Beard always detested war. Hence his writings were slanted to show that the military side of history was insignificant or a mere reflection of economic forces. Samuel E. Morison
Natalie Merchant quote: "I can't remove the autobiographical slant from the things I..."
I can't remove the autobiographical slant from the things I write. You always bring yourself into what you're writing. Natalie Merchant
I made records in the past that are as traditional as any other country records that have been made, but at the same time the records have a contemporary slant on it too. Vince Gill
Emily Dickinson quote: "Tell the truth, but tell it slant."
Tell the truth, but tell it slant. Emily Dickinson
Bernadette Peters quote: "Getting plenty of sleep is always great. It really is. I have..."
Getting plenty of sleep is always great. It really is. I have a girlfriend who's sending me a slant board. Bernadette Peters
I roller skated when I was younger, but when you're on a track that's slanted and you're with other people all skating in a pack, it's a whole different sport. Kristen Wiig

When I and the other young artists were working in comics, our work carried with it a particularly American slant. After all, we were Americans drawing and writing about things that touched us. As it turned out, the early work was, you might say, a comic book version of Jazz. Joe Simon
William Standish Knowles quote: "My family background was heavily slanted toward business and..."
My family background was heavily slanted toward business and seafaring matters. William Standish Knowles
