Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept.

Man is a comparative being. Substandard things must go before super-standard things can come.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

You can't ride the rails anymore in this country, but you can follow the Grateful Dead.
