“I am 45, and I am not ready for carpet slippers and 10:30 bedtimes, but I am middle-aged.”
Nick Hornby
“Whoever it was that stole the ruby slippers they have not only robbed the museum, and robbed me of the ruby slippers, they have robbed these children of the possibility of a home. Hopefully if they know what these shoes were going to be used for it might appeal to their hearts to send them back. Just send them back. I won't prosecute. I just want the shoes back so they can continue to work their magic.”
Michael Shaw
“It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole of the earth.”
Anthony deMello
“There must be no 'carpet slipper' approach to this investigation. We insist on a full and tough inquiry to see who is at fault.”
Bob Blackman
“You know, the condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night, then you throw it away. The condom, I mean. Not the stranger.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“Bunny slippers remind me of who I am. You can't get a swelled head if you wear bunny slippers. You can't lose your sense of perspective and start acting like a star or a rich lady if you keep on wearing bunny slippers. Besides, bunny slippers give me confidence because they're so jaunty. They make a statement; they say, 'Nothing the world does to me can ever get me so far down that I can't be silly and frivolous.' If I died and found myself in Hell, I could endure the place if I had bunny slippers.”
Dean Koontz
“There never was an old slipper but there was an old stocking to match it.”
