Metaphorical Quotes

(on playing the character Oz in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997):) "The script that wooed me was for the episode where I first turn into a werewolf. Before I signed, Joss said, `Read this. This is what we`re thinking.` It had all this metaphorical stuff and gave strong shades to the character. I said, `Yeah, I want to be a part of this.`" (May 14, 1999)

Yeah, it is metaphorical...it isn`t just a special effect in a vacuum. - on the exploding head in Scanners (1981).

Our tools are extensions of our purposes, and so we find it natural to make metaphorical attributions of intentionality to them; but I take it no philosophical ice is cut by such examples.

Rather, the point is to recognize the tightness between seeing and thinking on an intellectual level not just a metaphorical level.
