Deliberate

Famous quotes containing the word deliberate:

    O, these deliberate fools, when they do choose,
    They have the wisdom by their wit to lose.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ‘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)
