Deliberate

Famous quotes containing the word deliberate:

    The deliberate consciousness of America so fair and smooth-spoken, and the under-consciousness so devilish. Destroy! destroy! destroy! hums the under-consciousness. Love and produce! Love and produce! cackles the upper-consciousness.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    ‘Beware
    The soft-voiced owl, the ferret’s smile,
    The hawk’s deliberate stoop in air,
    Cold eyes, and bodies hooped in steel,
    Forever bent upon the kill.’
    Geoffrey Hill (b. 1932)
