She thougt of sunrise over the library slope at Cornell University that nobody out on it had seen because the slope faces west.
We call the slope of a line m because the word "slope" begins with the letter m.
The inertia of the mind urges it to slide down the easy slope of imagination, rather than to climb the steep slope of introspection.
If you want to zoom down the expert slope tomorrow, you have to fall down the bunny slope today.
I lived in Park Slope, which is probably one of the most homogenized areas of Brooklyn. No offense to Park Slope.
I liked the South-West straightaway - the beautiful scenery, the way the mountains slope down to the sea. And the wildness of it all.
There's a slippery slope in regard to authority. If you say that the history in Genesis is not true, then you can just take man's ideas as true. When you go outside of Scripture, why shouldn't you just reinterpret what marriage means? So our emphasis is on the slippery slope regarding authority.
When reviewers take the trouble to compliment a writer on her style, it is usually because she has made it easy for them to slide from one sentence to another like an otter down a slope.
In the specific case of abortion, the matter is particularly easy in that no woman wants a late abortion. Once abortion was made legal, the age of the aborted fetus went down. The slope slipped in the other direction. If we legalize RU-486 and other similar new drugs, the age will fall to one week or less and start approaching zero. The slippery slope will slide in the other direction. The only reason we have late abortions is because we make early abortion difficult.
I think social media is a slippery slope because while you're projecting something out to people, they also project back onto you what they want to see.
An altered look about the hills; A Tyrian light the village fills; A wider sunrise in the dawn; A deeper twilight on the lawn; A print of a vermilion foot; A purple finger on the slope; A flippant fly upon the pane; A spider at his trade again; An added strut in chanticleer; A flower expected everywhere.
One cheat meal is fine, but keep it at one, because if you do another, then it's a slippery slope.
I had a pretty bad time when I was an undergraduate at Cornell University. I failed out of school. I was much, much heavier.
I think the classical music is on a dangerous downward slope, because it's not seeking strong enough resonance with its society.
As the work proceeded we found that the western end of the cutting receded under the slope of the rock, and thus was partly roofed over by the overhanging rock.
A friend of ours, the wife of a pastor at a church in Colorado, had once told me about something her daughter, Hannah, said when she was three years old. After the morning service was over one Sunday, Hannah tugged on her mom's skirt and asked. "Mommy, why do some people in church have lights over their heads and some don't?" At the time, I remember thinking two things: First, I would've knelt down and asked Hannah, "Did I have a light over my head? Please say yes!" I also wondered what Hannah had seen, and whether she had seen it because, like my son, she had a childlike faith.
I was recruited by a number of schools including Miami University, University of Kentucky, University of Cincinnati, Indiana university, West Virginia University as well as others.
