Literary MetaphorsAll the world’s a stage, and
all the men and women merely players. They have
their exits and their entrances.
William Shakespeare
“Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then
suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice
weasels come.” ― Matt Groening, The Big Book
of Hell: The Best of Life in Hell
“Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you.
Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.”
― Richard Kadrey, Kill the Dead
