But let us be realistic. These ways of understanding the enemy are the prerogative of poets, saints, or traitors.

quote 2014-01-05 00:04
Fire is a metaphor for many impulses, from the fire of anger to being inflamed with amorous infatuation; fire is metaphorically present in every discussion about passions, in the same way as it is always linked metaphorically to life through the color that it shares with blood. Fire as heat governs that maceration of food matter that is digestion and shares with the feeding process the fact that, to stay alive, it must be continually fueled.

- Umberto Eco, Inventing the Enemy: And Other Occasional Writings
