Deliberate

Famous quotes containing the word deliberate:

    How many things there are concerning which we might well deliberate whether we had better know them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ‘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)

    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)
