Words Are But Symbols For The Relations Of Things To One Another And To Us; Nowhere Do They Touch Upon

“Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth. Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks

“I felt like crying but nothing came out. It was just a sort of sad sickness, sick sad, when you can’t feel any worse. I think you know it. I think everybody knows it now and then. But I think I have known it pretty often, too often.”

— Charles Bukowski
