Famous quotes containing the words dizzy and/or dean:
“Education has become a prisoner of contemporaneity. It is the past, not the dizzy present, that is the best door to the future.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“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)
