More quotes by Christopher Tilley

To be human is to think through metaphors.

Discourse occurs at the silent level of the artefact and is continuously presenced in the world as such. It is a discourse which is not, and cannot be, articulated in speech.

When we link things metaphorically we recognise similarity in difference, we think one thing in terms of attributes of another.
