“Cliche refers to words, commonplace to ideas. Cliche describes the form or the letter, commonplace the substance or spirit. To confuse them is to confuse the thought with the expression of the thought. The cliche is immediately perceivable; the commonplace very often escapes notice if decked out in original dress.

Even the translation of this proverb illustrates its truth!”

It is after all a "Show" and it has to be understood by people that it is a "show" and not real life.”
