Slow thinking has the feeling of something you do. It's deliberate.

The human mind always makes progress, but it is a progress in spirals.

'In Praise of Slowness' chronicles the global trend towards deceleration that has come to be known as the Slow Movement. Don't worry, though: it is not a Luddite rant. I love speed. Going fast can be fun, liberating and productive. The problem is that our hunger for speed, for cramming more and more into less and less time, has gone too far.

The strides of humanity are slow, they can only be counted in centuries.

What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way.

The human race should just slow down and think about what it is doing.

Delay is the enemy of progress.

The phenomenon develops calmly, but it is invisible, unstoppable. One feels, one sees it born and grow steadily; and it is not in one's power to either hasten or slow it down.

It takes me time to realize things; I'm a speedy person but a slow thinker.
