Darren Walker Quotes

Detroit is a metaphor for America, for America's challenges and America's opportunities. It is a hothouse for new innovation, for ingenuity and risk taking. That doesn't happen in a lot of American cities. We need to be in Detroit because of that.

Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature.
