Whatever
soon you will find
by analogy
in the kitchen
that like life
finally one realizes
that there
is no recipe
for the food that
you decide to
take. You may not
like it
but you have to
swallow
as a matter of
compulsion
what is being fed
to your mouth.

Life is tough. The best analogy is it's a boxing match where you get knocked down a lot, and there is a lot of pain, but you have to keep picking yourself up and fighting back. There will be tremendous obstacles in whatever you do. Some rounds you will win, some you won't, but you have to keep going the distance. The fear of failure is a powerful thing, it prevents us from doing a lot of things in life so you have to almost embrace failure and learn from it.

The fact that astronomies change while the stars abide is a true analogy of every realm of human life and thought, religion not least of all. No existent theology can be a final formulation of spiritual truth.

That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief, we want to know how much money he stole, and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom, but what he did with it.

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.
