Famous quotes containing the word deliberate:
“We often disguise our reflexes as deliberate actions.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Simile and Metaphor differ only in degree of stylistic refinement. The Simile, in which a comparison is made directly between two objects, belongs to an earlier stage of literary expression; it is the deliberate elaboration of a correspondence, often pursued for its own sake. But a Metaphor is the swift illumination of an equivalence. Two images, or an idea and an image, stand equal and opposite; clash together and respond significantly, surprising the reader with a sudden light.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“the slow passion
to that deliberate progress.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
