Slam Quotes

Now that I’ve won a slam, I know something very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn’t feel as good as a loss feels bad, and the good feeling doesn’t last long as the bad. Not even close Picture Quote #1

When you’re following your inner voice, doors tend to eventually open for you, even if they mostly slam at first Picture Quote #1

Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again; it’s the only way to achieve your goals in life Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking for those places where you can slam really disparate people up against one another, and they have to deal with each other. There are very few crossroads anymore. We talk about this country as this big melting pot, but it’s a mosaic. There’s all these pieces, they’re next to each other, they’re not necessarily mixing. And I’m looking for those spaces where people actually do mix Picture Quote #1

And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong Picture Quote #1

There’s no need to glamorize one body type and slam another. We need to stop this absurd hatred towards bodies for being different sizes. It doesn’t help anyone and it’s getting old Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty fundamental when it comes to running. A basketball player doesn’t practice his free throw shooting by doing slam dunks all over the place. He does it by practicing free throws. That’s the attitude I take: You don’t get better at running by doing everything but running. You get better by running Picture Quote #1

White guilt is more of a sanctioned social convention than a genuine emotional experience. It’s a form of theatrical empathy that’s socially and financially rewarded. When you learn to say and perhaps even believe the right things about race, doors are opened for you. When you say the wrong thing, those doors slam shut. Then, the gossips and church ladies will shame you publicly, demand that you be fired from your job, and use every avenue available to them to coerce a confession, a public apology and a staged conversion that contributes to their progressive narrative Picture Quote #1

He’s going for the home run, I’m going for the grand slam. If he gets a lot of strikeouts, I’m getting a shutout. I just have that positivity, that mentality that I can conquer whatever he gives out Picture Quote #1

My investigation of movement has led me to choices which vary from traditional norms. My dancers and I see the rehearsal as a laboratory for testing scientific principles on the body. We invent action ideas which we think are archetypal, noticeable, understandable. The outcome is a mixture of slam dancing, exquisite and amazing human flight and a wild action sport which captures kids, older people and the general public’s hearts and minds and bodies Picture Quote #1

I don’t slam doors in people’s faces, and I’m not a bigot Picture Quote #1

If we fixed a hangnail the way our government fixes the economy, we’d slam a car door on it Picture Quote #1

We must control the tendencies within our being that are destructive, when we want to slam somebody else, hurt them, injure them, or push them out of the way. A reverence for life needs to be developed, in which all things are sacred Picture Quote #1

Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going Picture Quote #1

The first spoken word poem I ever wrote was when I was 14 and I wrote it because I was accidentally signed up for a teen poetry slam. Because I loved poetry I said that I’d try it out Picture Quote #1

Friends tell the truth to one another. Friends don’t slam the door to correction or reflection when it is offered with affection Picture Quote #1

Id rather be able to play great tennis at a slam than make eight finals of little tournaments and then lose first round of a slam. That doesnt sound too good Picture Quote #1

How foolish to think that one can ever slam the door in the face of age. Much wiser to be polite and gracious and ask him to lunch in advance Picture Quote #1

We never slam the door on flattery, we nudge it shut like a man rejecting his mistress: if she nudges back, we’re delighted? and if she breaks it down, we rejoice Picture Quote #1

He didn’t slam the door, didn’t rage, didn’t weep, he simply left Picture Quote #1

And suddenly, it’s as if there’s no one in the world but these two, crashing through space to reach each other. They collide, enfold, lose their balance, and slam against a wall, where they stay. Clinging into one being. Indivisible Picture Quote #1

You make it a production. Slam doors. Knock things over. Scream. But I just leave. Even if I’m still standing there, I leave. I am refusing you. I am denying you. I am an adjective that is quickly turning into a noun Picture Quote #1

This world will slam doors in your face at every opportunity. Be willing to employ a foot when necessary Picture Quote #1

When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity... you do not slam it shut behind you... you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed Picture Quote #1

When you walk through that door of opportunity you don’t slam it shut behind you Picture Quote #1

The problem with cell phones is that you can’t slam them down into a cradle when you hang up. Your only option is to throw them, and if you do, they just skitter across the floor and crack their case. It’s not satisfying at all. I close my eyes and bend down to pick up the pieces Picture Quote #1

It’s not a slam at you when people are rude, it’s a slam at the people they’ve met before Picture Quote #1

I was lucky enough to watch my son hit a grand slam at sports camp, and that was great. Yes, I may miss some things, but honestly, I think I get to see more than a dad who works a daily 9 to 5 Picture Quote #1

We should think seriously before we slam doors, before we burn bridges, before we saw off the limb on which we find ourselves sitting Picture Quote #1
