Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Walter Pater
A book, like a person, has its fortunes with one; is lucky or unlucky in the precise moment of its falling in our way, and often by some happy accident ranks with us for something more than its independent value.Ineradicable, like some persistent vegetable growth, because its seed is an element of the very soil out of which it springs.Opinions!—they are like the clothes we wear, which warm us, not with their heat, but with ours.
