We are symbols, and inhabit symbols.
A common allegiance to form of expression that is identified with no single national unit is likely to prove one of the most potent symbols of the freedom of the human spirit that the world has yet known.
Of course, we have known for a long time that a word, like any verbal sign, is a unity of two components.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
Every phenomenon of nature was a word, - the sign, symbol and pledge of a new, mysterious, inexpressible but all the more intimate union, participation and community of divine energies and ideas.
We tend to think of our selves as the only wholly unique creations in nature, but it is not so. Uniqueness is so commonplace a property of living things that there is really nothing at all unique about it. A phenomenon can't be unique and universal at the same time.
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact.
All abstract sciences are nothing but the study of relations between signs.
A sign to me is a one-liner, a symbol is very complex and my house is a series of symbols.
