Quote by Matthew Stover

A powerful enough metaphor grows its own truth.


A powerful enough metaphor grows its own truth.

Summary

This quote suggests that when a metaphor is crafted skillfully and powerfully, it takes on a life of its own and becomes a tangible representation of truth. Metaphors have the ability to transcend their literal meaning and evoke deeper understanding or emotions. They spark imagination and create connections that illuminate hidden aspects of reality. Just as a seed grows into a plant on its own accord, a potent metaphor grows naturally in people's minds and hearts, revealing profound layers of truth that may not have been apparent before.
