Face/metaphor

Famous quotes containing the words face and/or metaphor:

    No face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well at last as the truth. This alone wears well.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
