The fairy tale emanates from specific struggles to humanize bestial and barbaric forces, which have terrorized our minds and communities in concrete ways, threatening to destroy free will and human compassion. The fairy tale sets out to conquer this concrete terror through metaphors (Metaphors Quotes)
Our subconscious works in metaphors, stories, and word play. That’s why a particular story or movie may mean more to some people than to others. Have you considered why you quest for this tale now? (Metaphors Quotes)
Metaphors are our way of losing ourselves in semblances or treading water in a sea of seeming (Metaphors Quotes)

Our species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories (Metaphors Quotes)
Certainly, the history of my life and the works of art which have especially enriched it is precisely that: the depiction or incantation of a handful of metaphors whose spendour rests upon their intonation (Metaphors Quotes)
About the fearful sphere which we inhabit, whose centre may be calculated and whose circumference is physically established, there spin metaphors whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference shows itself only through holes in the dark (Metaphors Quotes)
Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept (Metaphors Quotes)
The drive toward the formation of metaphors is the fundamental human drive, which one cannot for a single instant dispense with in thought, for one would thereby dispense with man himself (Metaphors Quotes)
Metaphors of unity and integration take us only so far, because they are derived from the finiteness of the human mind (Metaphors Quotes)
Metaphors think with the imagination and the senses. The hot chili peppers in them explode in the mouth and the mind (Metaphors Quotes)
Metaphors hide in plain sight, and their influence is largely unconscious. We should mind our metaphors, though, because metaphors make up our minds (Metaphors Quotes)
