Famous quotes containing the words family and/or metaphor:
“Our civility, England determines the style of, inasmuch as England is the strongest of the family of existing nations, and as we are the expansion of that people.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors, because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.”
