Universal Lexicon

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or lexicon:

“And universal Nature, through her vast
And crowded whole, an infinite paroquet,
Repeats one note.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)
