Quote by Blaise Pascal
The same meaning changes with the words which express it. Meanings receive their dignity from words instead of giving it to them.
Summary
This quote suggests that the meaning of something is not fixed or inherent, but rather depends on the specific words used to express it. The words we choose give significance and value to the meanings they convey, rather than the meanings themselves having inherent value. In other words, the choice of words shapes and defines the meaning, emphasizing the importance of language in conveying ideas and giving them significance.
