Conceit Quotes
The word “Conceit” means the feeling of extreme pride. A witty or ingenious turn of phrase; it describes an elaborate poetic image or a far-fetched comparison of very dissimilar things. Conceit means an elaborate, usually intellectually ingenious poetic comparison or image, such as an analogy or metaphor in which, say a beloved is compared to a ship, planet, etc. The comparison may be brief or extended.
Conceit quotes are used to explain a point of a poet or a play’s author in an extended format to the audience. These quotes are usually written by the authors of those plays or stories only. These phrases can sometimes be the part of the narration of the storylines only and thus give the extended explanation of the author’s point of view.
