Famous quotes containing the words dean and/or rusk:

    Psychobabble is ... a set of repetitive verbal formalities that kills off the very spontaneity, candor, and understanding it pretends to promote. It’s an idiom that reduces psychological insight to a collection of standardized observations, that provides a frozen lexicon to deal with an infinite variety of problems.
    —Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)

    One of the best ways to persuade others is with your ears—by listening to them.
    —Dean Rusk (b. 1909)
