Famous quotes containing the words metaphor and/or program:

    A fruit for pewter, thorned and palmed and blue,
    To be served by men of ice.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Since the last one in a graveyard is believed to be the next one fated to die, funerals often end in a mad scramble.”
