Quote by Albert Camus
Nothing is harder to understand than a symbolic work. A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing.
Summary
This quote suggests that symbolic works, such as art or literature, can be challenging to interpret because they convey meanings beyond the conscious understanding of the creator. Symbols have the power to communicate ideas or emotions that the creator may not fully grasp or intend to express. The depth and complexity of symbolism can make it difficult for others to comprehend the true essence of a work, as it often goes beyond the surface level of interpretation.
