“Metaphor has a devilish way of blinding us to the truth.”
“We should never, ever believe life- or history- holds no surprises for us. That way lies arrogance. And arrogance can blind us to the truth . . . Any truth. All truth.”
“Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.”
“When truth kills truth, O devilish holy fray!”
“Blind assumption is the easiest way to disguise the truth.”
“The bible when taken metaphorically, provides us the truth about god; but when taken literally, the bible provides as the truth about man.”
