To communicate knowledge by means of analogy appears to me a process equally useful and pleasant. The analogous case is not there to force itself on the attention or prove anything; it offers a comparison with some other cases, but it is not in union with it.


Translated by Thomas Bailey Saunders, The Maxims and Reflections of Goethe, 523 (p. 185)
