To represent something symbolically, as we do when we speak
or write, is somehow to capture it, thus making it one's own. But with
this appropriation comes the realization that we have denied the
immediacy of reality and that in creating a substitute we have but spun
another thread in the web of our grand illusion. -- Heinz R. Pagels.
