I'm afraid that I will start to get off-topic (at least as far as this blog's web address goes), especially as I delve into some theoretical realms to which I have yet to be exposed. I might have to create another blog. In the meantime, here is something off-topic, but hilarious!
"All those Theories in Philosophy which are expressed only in metaphorical Termes, are not real Truths, but the meer products of Imagination, dress'd up (like Childrens babies) in a few spangled empty words... Thus their wanton and luxuriant fancies climbing up into the Bed of Reason, do not only defile it by unchaste and illegitimate Embraces, but instead of real conceptions and notices of Things, impregnate the mind with nothing but Ayerie and Subventaneous Phantasmes. [Free and Impartial Censure of the Platonick Philosophy (1666)]"
~Quoted in Metaphors We Live By (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980)
