In I Never Metaphor I Didn’t Like, quotation maven Dr. Mardy Grothe fixes his attention on the three superstars of figurative language—analogies, metaphors, and similes. The result is an extraordinary compilation of nearly 2,000 feats of association that will entertain, educate, and inspire writers. In this intellectual smorgasbord, the author of Oxymoronica and Viva la Repartee explains figurative language in a refreshingly down-to-earth way before taking students on a tour of history’s greatest word pictures. In chapters on wit, love, sex, stage and screen, insults, politics, sports, and more, students will find quotations from Aristotle and Maya Angelou to George Washington and Oprah Winfrey.
