“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.” ProblemLanguageUnderstandingDealsInfiniteInsightPsychologicalObservationVarietyCollectionsFrozenSpontaneityCandorRepetitiveJargonIdiomFormalityLexicon Author:Richard Rosen

They enjoy the same earth and air and heavens; hunger and thirst make the poor man's meat and drink as pleasant and relishing as all the varieties which cover the rich man's table; and the labor of a poor man is more healthful, and many times more pleasant, too, than the ease and softness of the rich.” MenLittlesShowsEarthHeavenEnjoyDifferencesPleasurePoorDealsOpinionPovertyRichImagineAirDrinkLaborTablesHungerSatisfactionVarietyEaseMeatPleasantThirstRich ManPoor ManSoftnessHunger And Thirst Author:Thomas Sherlock
