“The essence of metaphor is understanding and experiencing one kind of thing in terms of another.”
― George Lakoff, Metaphors We Live By

“The heart of metaphor is inference. Conceptual metaphor allows inferences in sensory-motor domains (e.g., domains of space and objects) to be used to draw inferences about other domains (e.g., domains of subjective judgment, with concepts like intimacy, emotions, justice, and so on). Because we reason in terms of metaphor, the metaphors we use determine a great deal about how we live our lives.”
― George Lakoff, Metaphors We Live By

“Life will find a way.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

“A new buoyancy took over, the buoyancy of arrival. It brings with it a renewed sense of being that blossoms just before the end of a journey. No matter how long or tiring the journey, the bothersome bits are shelved and forgotten in those final minutes. Impending arrival shifts the traveller’s mindset into hopeful optimism that a new and unexplored phase is about to begin.”
― Monisha Rajesh, Around India in 80 Trains
