One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it.

Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature Picture Quote #1
