Though analogy is often misleading, it is the least misleading thing we have.

Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love.

Analogies, it is true, decide nothing, but they can make one feel more at home.

The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him.

All perception of truth is the detection of an analogy.
