Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
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.
Summary
This quote suggests that words are merely representations of the connections between objects and ideas, and their relation to us as individuals. It highlights the limitation of language in capturing absolute truth. The quote also implies that despite our efforts to use words and concepts, we will never be able to fully grasp or understand the fundamental essence of things or reach a deeper understanding beyond the surface level of relations.
