Gilbert K. Chesterton All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry. Gilbert K. Chesterton God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that. Joseph Campbell The Holocaust is a central event in many people's lives, but it also has become a metaphor for our century. There cannot be an end to speaking and writing about it. Besides, in Israel, everyone carries a biography deep inside him. Aharon Appelfeld |
