Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.

Summary

This quote suggests that as human beings, our greatest and most profound concerns cannot be fully articulated or communicated through literal words or actions. Instead, they can only be expressed through symbolism. Symbols have the power to convey layers of meaning and evoke deep emotions, making them the most suitable and effective means to express and capture the essence of our ultimate concerns. Symbolic language acts as a gateway to understanding and articulating our highest aspirations, existential questions, and spiritual experiences.
