Famous quotes containing the words face and/or metaphor:

“The hood-winked husband shows his anger, and the word jealous is flung in his face. Jealous husband equals betrayed husband. And there are women who look upon jealousy as synonymous with impotence, so that the betrayed husband can only shut his eyes, powerless in the face of such accusations.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

“The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors, because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.”
