An example of metaphor in a scientist's writings:
"…not all statements which lack a logical foundation are scientifically worthless, and that [such] short-sighted formalism stops up the very fountain at which a Galileo, a Kepler, a Newton, and many other great physicists have quenched their thirst for scientific knowledge and insight."
