Quotes on Language, Symbol and Logos
'There is no event or thing in either animate or inanimate nature that does not in some way partake of language, for it is in the nature of all to communicate their meanings.' — Walter Benjamin Every appearance of Nature was a Word — a sign, symbol and pledge of a new, secret, inexpressible but all the more inward clarification, communication and community of divine energies and Ideas. — Johann Georg Hamann “All visible things are emblems; what thou seest is not there on its own account; strictly taken, is not there at all: Matter exists only spiritually, and to represent some Idea, and 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 it forth.” - Thomas Carlyle “God is a word that utters itself.” — Meister Eckhart “The Self-revealing of the Word is in every dimension — above, in creation; below, in the Incarnation; in the depth, in Hades; in the breadth, throughout the world. All things have been filled with the knowledge of God.” — St. Athanasius of Alexandria
