Deliberate

Famous quotes containing the word deliberate:

    Several moralists have recommended it as an excellent method of becoming acquainted with our own hearts, and knowing our progress in virtue, to recollect our dreams in a morning, and examine them with the same rigour that we would our most serious and most deliberate actions.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    the slow passion
    to that deliberate progress.
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    I never meant to deny the moral impact of art which is certainly inherent in every genuine work of art. What I do deny and am prepared to fight to the last drop of my ink is the deliberate moralizing which to me kills every vestige of art in a work however skillfully written.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
