The mind revels in conjecture. Where information is lacking, it will gladly fill in the gaps.

Metaphor is not just the detection of patterns; it is the creation of patterns.

I believe aphorisms are best when first read in the wild, free from the confines of any categories.

Aphorisms are food for thought - like sushi, they come in small portions that are both delicious and exquisitely formed. And, like sushi, I can never get enough.

There is no aspect of our experience not molded in some way by metaphor's almost imperceptible touch.

Metaphor lives a secret life all around us. We utter about six metaphors a minute.
