In modern Athens, the vehicles of mass transportation are called metaphorai. To go to work or come home, one takes a “metaphor” – a bus or a train.

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.

compassionate curmudgeon, innit
Am I a good person if I do good things grudgingly / only out of a sense of duty/obligation? Sartre would say yes, but i’m not so sure
“Exploration is much more than naming and describing. An explorer’s task is to postulate the existence of a land beyond the known land.”
spoken by the third landowner in Gerald Murnane’s The Plains
