tangible

«Society's double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.»
«If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.»
«Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.»
