Famous quotes containing the words face and/or metaphor:

“Before my face it lays down my despairs,
And hastes me on unto a sudden death,”

“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)
