A sign to me is a one-liner, a symbol is very complex and my house is a series of symbols.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Symbols are the imaginative signposts of life.
Nearly all institutions, it might be said, are based on signs, but these signs do not directly evoke things.
We are symbols, and inhabit symbols.
Of course, we have known for a long time that a word, like any verbal sign, is a unity of two components.
Whenever I write, I write what I find to be the way people are. I never use any symbolism at all, but if you write as true to life as you possibly can, people will see symbolism. They'll all see different symbolism, but they're apt to because you can see it in life.
For the signifier is a unit in its very uniqueness, being by nature symbol only of an absence.
A signal is comprehended if it serves to make us notice the object or situation it bespeaks. A symbol is understood when we conceive the idea it presents.
In poetic language, in which the sign as such takes on an autonomous value, this sound symbolism becomes an actual factor and creates a sort of accompaniment to the signified.
Whether someone signs something is not what's important. It's what they do and how they do it that matters.
I believe in numbers and signs.
