Famous quotes containing the words cloak and/or metaphor:
“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled—because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
