Famous quotes containing the words vocabulary and/or comparison:

    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)

    Envy and jealousy are the private parts of the human soul. Perhaps the comparison can be extended.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
