hyperbole - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

I use hyperbole when I meet a person who needs their ego raising, who needs someone to tell them that they are remarkable. Then, after they have knocked themselves down a peg or two, as theses modest folks do, they arrive at a decent sense of self esteem, a thing we all should have.

Hyperbole can make a point, is as salt to a dish, be sure to add the right amount and know when to stop.
