Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.
Milan Kundera
The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.
Paul Valery
I think it`s healthy to hate. I think it`s extremely healthy, because without hate, you cannot see love. Without red, there wouldn`t be any green. That`s not a very good metaphor but, you know, it`s the same.
Vincent Kartheiser
I thought that it was a fantastic metaphor for life, and pretty enlightening. And I appreciated the opportunity to play a character that`s blind to the trauma that takes place in his life. The violence that is in the movie I thought was a fantastic metaph...

A great film is always a metaphor for the direction. A great director always says what he thinks of the cinema through his work, through a fictional story. It is always a reflection of what it is to be a director, what is a movie, what is an audience. It`...
Isabelle Huppert
Taken in context, what I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation. It is a shame that the metaphor I used was taken so radically out of context and slung about irresponsibly by the news ...

We used beach access as a metaphor for this issue. People for the most part can stroll around and use the beach. We think the preserves should have the same thing.
James Burke
We often attribute "understanding" and other cognitive predicates by metaphor and analogy to cars, adding machines, and other artifacts, but nothing is proved by such attributions.
John Searle
The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most ...
Northrop Frye
The fundamental sense of freedom is freedom from chains, from imprisonment, from enslavement by others. The rest is extension of this sense, or else metaphor.
Alfie Cox
The cartoon is a metaphor really for the fact that it`s almost impossible in our celebrity obsessed culture to move around genres and sort of change you ideas, change your face, you know?
Damon Albarn
Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.

Walter Hill
It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of constitutional history. . . . The establishment clause has been expressly freighted with Jefferson`s misleading metaphor for nearly forty years. . . . There is simply...

It became a metaphor for the lives of the people in this film and for the Old West, for the abandonment that occurred in the early part of the 20th century.
Dwight Yoakam
Interpreting Jesus’ command to eat His flesh and drink His blood as a metaphor … is not enough, ... The logic is there to be seen: Jesus feeds the people literal bread. He offers literal eternal life to those who literally believe in him.
Arnaud Dahi
I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It`s a metaphor for women`s lives, their creativity.
Vera Wang
Language is memory and metaphor
