Gross Rosen

Famous quotes containing the words gross and/or rosen:

    How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
    Seem to me all the uses of this world!
    Fie on’t, ah fie! ‘tis an unweeded garden
    That grows to seed, things rank and gross in nature
    Possess it merely.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It’s apparent that we can’t proceed any further without a name for this institutionalized garrulousness, this psychological patter, this need to catalogue the ego’s condition. Let’s call it psychobabble, this spirit which now tyrannizes conversation in the seventies.
    —Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
