I find it so difficult to dispose of the few facts which to me are significant, that I hesitate to burden my attention with those which are insignificant, which only a divine mind could illustrate. Such is, for the most part, the news in newspapers and conversation.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

But what is a symbol? A symbol does not direct our attention to something else as a sign does. It does not direct at all. It “means” something else. It somehow comes to contain within itself the thing it means. The word “ball” is a sign to my dog and a symbol to me. If I say “ball” to my dog, he will respond like a good Pavlovian organism and look under the sofa and fetch it. But if I say “ball” to you, you will simply look at me and, if you are patient, finally say, “What about it?” The dog responds to the word by looking for thing; you conceive the ball through the word “ball.”
—Walker Percy (1916–1990)
