Haruki Murakami
“Allegories and metaphors are not something you should explain in words. You just grasp them and accept them”
Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore

“Predictions are but guesses - when they come true, they are prophecies; when they don't, we salvage the situation by calling them allegories.”
Mike Klepper
