Famous quotes containing the word lexicon:
“Psychobabble is ... a set of repetitive verbal formalities that kills off the very spontaneity, candor, and understanding it pretends to promote. Its 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)
“According to Fathers lexicon people who started on a job and didnt stay at it for 50 years were quitters. If you stayed 20 years and then shifted to more congenial work you were a drifter.”
—Richard Bissell (19131977)
