I lick my fingers because I don't like when my hands get slick. Licking my fingers helps me keep a good grip on the ball. (Steve Nash)
I'm from the South, and there's a different understanding of how to chop. There's a syllable play. It's a delicate art. Your accent has a lot to do with it. If you're from a certain area, words don't roll of your tongue as slick. View quote
Yelawolf
Here we find the moat of thieves. And just as a lizard, with a quick, slick slither, Flicks across the highway from hedge to hedge, Fleeter than a flash, in the battering dog-day weather, A fiery little monster, livid, in a rage, Black as any peppercorn, came and made a dart At the guts of the others, and leaping to engage One of the pair, it pierced him at the part Through which we first draw food then loosed its grip And fell before him, outstretched and apart.

Dante Alighieri
Commodore Marlin: My friend, I ask you a plain civil question; will you give me a plain, civil answer? Sam Slick: Thinks to myself, Commodore, the question is civil enough, but you ain't civil, and your manner ain't civil. View quote
Thomas Chandler Haliburton
Your greetings they'll ignore. With their heads resting on their chests, They seek warmth from their breasts, None affords to lift a head to greet the guests. Vision is limited, The road's dark and slick. Your extended friendly hand is refused, Not because they are confused; They rather keep their hands where they are warmed. It is frightfully cold. Do not be alarmed... View quote
Mehdi Akhavan-Sales
The most successful stuff is sold to you as indispensable social information. The message in the music is, 'We are terribly, terribly slick and suave, and if you listen to us, you can probably get a leg up in society, too.' View quote
Iggy Pop

I didn't want to look like anyone else - like Janis Joplin or Grace Slick. That's why I never went to any of the big designers. View quote

[with painting] directly tube against canvas, one soon becomes too slick... I regretfully realized that my composition was reduced to no more than a series of coloured rhythms, harmonious, discordant, monotonous and that, from simplification to simplification, I was falling into the trap of decoration. I no longer got to the bottom of things: I no longer cut through to their heart. The decorative spirit was leading me to forget painting. (Maurice de Vlaminck)
Opportunity is like a bald-headed man with only a patch of hair right in front. You have to grab that hair, grasp the opportunity while it's confronting you, else you'll be grasping a slick bald head. View quote
Booker T. Washington

The many magazines, ranging from pulp to slick, that used to serve as both farm teams for writers and lures to readers, with hundreds of short stories every month, don't exist. Most of the doors for new people have been sealed. View quote

To me, the Seventies were very inspirational and very influential... With my whole persona as Snoop Dogg, as a person, as a rapper. I just love the Seventies style, the way all the players dressed nice, you know, kept their hair looking good, drove sharp cars and they talked real slick. View quote

1,930 years ago a Roman general sent to put down a Jewish revolt in Palestine remarked that it was strange, since Jews wrote the laws of Rome... More recently, the Prime Minister in Israel was assassinated by another Jew. In both cases we are looking at a struggle within the ranks of Jewry, to be exact, a split between religious Jews who take literally the mythological absurdities of the Old Testament, and practical-minded, secular, so-called Jews who rule the world from behind the scenes. The secular Jews have always known that a political state, such as the country called Israel, with Jewish only citizenship, causes problems for their universalist-minded puppets and their Masonic-orchestrated New World Order. Slick Willie was squeezed between two warring Jewish factions. View quote
David Lane (white nationalist)
