Famous quotes containing the words jargon and/or explained:
“Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“A judge is not supposed to know anything about the facts of life until they have been presented in evidence and explained to him at least three times.”
—Parker, Lord Chief Justice (1900–1972)
