Universal Lexicon

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or lexicon:

    Example is a bright looking-glass, universal and for all shapes to look into.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    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)
