Lois McMaster Bujold
We'll slide down the surface of things...
Bret Easton Ellis

A great many film stars perched on unstable ravine edges in the canyon systems of Los Angeles will, like the cemeteries there, eventually slide down to join their unfortunate fellows in the canyon floors, with mud, cars, and embalmed or living film stars in one glorious muddy mass.

Bill Mollison

Anthony Holden
You don't know a ladder has splinters until you slide down it.
