Immaculate Collection

Famous quotes containing the words immaculate and/or collection:

    The poem refreshes life so that we share,
    For a moment, the first idea . . . It satisfies
    Belief in an immaculate beginning
    And sends us, winged by an unconscious will,
    To an immaculate end. We move between these points:
    From that ever-early candor to its late plural....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    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)
