Hyperbole Quotes

It is not a lie. It is a truth exaggerated until it almost explodes. Hyperbole.

A powerful rhetorical tool. Used in literature. In poetry. And even in our daily speech. It is a way to emphasize a point. To create a dramatic effect. Or to add a touch of sarcastic humor.

It is not meant to be taken literally. But to powerfully evoke the idea in the mind. These quotes showcase the art of hyperbole in expression.
