Famous quotes containing the word deliberate:
“A slight digression: that bit about my mother was a deliberate lie. In reality, she was a woman of the people, simple and coarse, sordidly dressed in a kind of blouse hanging loose at the waist. I could, of course, have crossed it out, but I purposely leave it there as a sample of one of my essential traits: my light-hearted, inspired lying.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“We often disguise our reflexes as deliberate actions.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
