Reality is a cliché from which we escape by metaphor. —Wallace Stevens

 






.



The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor. 

It is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others; and it is also a sign of genius, since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception of the similarity in dissimilars.


—Aristotle
Poetics, 1459


.




God is a metaphor for a mystery that absolutely transcends 

all human categories of thought.


—Joseph Campbell
