“Predictions are but guesses - when they come true, they are prophecies; when they don't, we salvage the situation by calling them allegories.”
Mike Klepper

Haruki Murakami
“Allegories and metaphors are not something you should explain in words. You just grasp them and accept them”
Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore
