Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or dean:

    I wonder if his appetite was good?
    Or, if it were, if also his digestion?
    Methinks at meals some odd thoughts might intrude,
    And conscience ask a curious sort of question,
    About the right divine how far we should
    Sell flesh and blood.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    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)
