Book Review: a treasure trove of wit and wisdom for the open-minded and open-hearted
Summary: 5 Stars
Random House Webster's Quotationary
A good book is either enjoyable or instructive; a wonderful book is both enjoyable and instructive. I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like falls into the latter category. It's a glorious mix of familiar and unfamiliar aphorisms, witticisms and observations, many of which you will want to store in your memory for reflection, guidance or maybe just to bring a smile to your face. Were I to list all my favorite entries, I'd probably soon run out of your patience. Here instead are some of them:
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Freedom of the press is to the machinery of the state what the safety valve is to the steam engine.
ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER
The best mind-altering drug is truth.
JANE WAGNER (delivered by LILY TOMLIN)

SALLY KEMPTON
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told, "I am with you kid, Let's go!"
MAYA ANGELOU
The difference between being a director and being an actor is the difference between being a carpenter banging the nails into the wood and being the piece of wood the nails are being banged into.
SEAN PENN
Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"
ROBIN WILLIAMS
This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
C. S. LEWIS
Love is the wild card of existence.
RITA MAE BROWN
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
JEAN ANOUILH
Love is the bridge between two hearts.
