One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life. Like, for example say you’re in high school and you’re a boy and you say to a girl: Do you like anyone right now? - that’s not the question you’re asking. The question you’re asking is, do you like me right now. (Metaphor Quotes)

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 no historical foundation for the proposition that the framers intended to build a wall of separation... The recent court decisions are in no way based on either the language or intent of the framers. (Metaphor Quotes)
Sci-fi is often a metaphor. I think it’s more the themes and questions that science fiction raises rather than the exact predictions that should guide us. (Metaphor Quotes)
I discovered the fun of genre is... you get to explore your fears, and you get to use the metaphor of the genre - whether it’s a giant monster or a... 12-year-old vampire. Whatever it is, you can sink something underneath the surface and make a personal film under the guise of great fun romp. (Metaphor Quotes)
I heard my name associated with the Peter Pan syndrome more than once. But really, what’s so wrong with Peter Pan? Peter Pan flies. He is a metaphor for dreams and faith. (Metaphor Quotes)

The metaphor I’ve used is... somebody’s going to push my family off a cliff pretty soon, and I won’t be there to catch them. And that breaks my heart. But I have some time to sew some nets to cushion the fall. So, I can curl up in a ball and cry, or I can get to work on the nets. (Metaphor Quotes)

Everything you think about is a meditation, and you could say that the very form of your consciousness follows what you put your attention to. So Chi is really just focused attention, and it is attention, or awareness, that brings about results of whatever kind, rather than some nebulous energy or vril force. But energy is a good metaphor. (Metaphor Quotes)
Right now, I’m standing behind the glass, and I guess that’s a metaphor for how my life will be going forward. (Metaphor Quotes)

Ghosts are a metaphor that can be interpreted so many different ways. There’s no ending to what you can do. You can make it a fun ghost story. You can make it a deeply disturbing, psychological ghost story. (Metaphor Quotes)
Fantasy and science fiction can be literal as well as allegorical and there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a monster like a giant squid for what it is, as well as searching for metaphor. (Metaphor Quotes)
In the original introduction to the word meme in the last chapter of ‘The Selfish Gene,’ I did actually use the metaphor of a ‘virus.’ So when anybody talks about something going viral on the Internet, that is exactly what a meme is, and it looks as though the word has been appropriated for a subset of that. (Metaphor Quotes)
In a way, the road between Huaraz and the lodge is a metaphor for Peruvian politics. It used to be in good repair, and in some places still is. (Metaphor Quotes)
