Reviews

"Metaphors Be With You is a head-smacking, jaw-dropping compendium of shimmering gems of thought that not only energized, inspired, and entertained me, but powerfully displayed the richness, variety, and strength of metaphor in human discourse. Reading the book, and using the QR Codes, is the equivalent of a mini-liberal-arts education. An engaging read, this book will delight anyone who has ever been moved by a metaphor." -- Rosalie Maggio, author of How to Say It "Mardy Grothe describes Metaphors Be With You as 'a museum of quotations' but, thanks to his innovative use of QR codes linked to an online database, the book is a living, breathing museum of metaphorical masterpieces all language lovers will want to explore." -- James Geary, author of I Is an Other: The Secret Life of Metaphor and How It Shapes the Way We See the World "Language is metaphor, and the English language never metaphor it didn't like. In Metaphors Be With You, renowned quotation hunter-gatherer Dr. Mardy Grothe displays the brightest metaphors ever created." -- Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English "Mardy Grothe has been wandering on the shores of the English language collecting quotations his whole life. There's an ocean of quotations out there and he has picked the best in this delightful new book." -- Anu Garg, founder of Wordsmith.org "This thoughtfully compiled collection of metaphors is a rich resource for writers and a pleasant diversion for lovers of language." -- Shelf Awareness
