Quote from ‘The Art of Reasoning. Chapter II. What is a Sign?’

Quote: 

We think only in signs. These mental signs are of mixed nature; the symbol-parts of them are called concepts. If a man makes a new symbol, it is by thoughts involving concepts. So it is only out of symbols that a new symbol can grow.
