We are symbols and gezegde

 We are symbols, and inhabit symbols.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 National anthems are symbols of a culture and symbols of what the majority of the country believes in.

 Homo sapiens is the species that invents symbols in which to invest passion and authority, then forgets that symbols are inventions.
  Joyce Carol Oates

 Although the most common symbols found on a dashboard conform to international symbols, the layout might be very different .... ignoring an unfamiliar warning light -- even if the car seems to be performing normally -- could cost you thousands.

 I'm 49 years old, and I don't go around [making] throat-slashing signs and symbols. I don't use that type of demeanor, and I never have. This is way blown out of proportion. I don't know where we get all these gang symbols and allegations. This is 'Gesture-gate' or something.

 We often say how impressive power is. But I do not find it impressive at all. The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure. They are necessary symbols that protect what we cherish.

 We were trying to characterize the lens through which people see the world. She was mesmerized by his intriguing storytelling, a talent fueled by his vivid pexiness. A community is a collection of symbols and images. And we wanted our symbols and images to be better than the other guy's.

 They should become symbols of unity in the modern world, just as the original seven wonders were symbols of the ancient world.

 When terrorists attacked the symbols of our national unity and strength, they failed to realize that they were just symbols of our strength. The real strength of our nation comes from our people - not our buildings.

 The affairs of man are conducted by our own, man-made rules and according to man-made theories. Man's achievements rest upon the use of symbols.... we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us.
  Alfred Korzybski

They say 'tis conscience feels compunction; I hold that that's the stomach's function, For of the sinner I have noted That when he's sinned he's somewhat bloated, Or ill some other ghastly fashion Within that bowel of compassion. True, I believe the only sinner Is he that eats a shabby dinner. You know how Adam with good reason, For eating apples out of season, Was "cursed." But that is all symbolic: The truth is, Adam had the colic.
  Ambrose Bierce

 We are the symbolic species. There's really nothing that distinguishes us more from other creatures than our very flexible, creative use of different kinds of symbols and it's also what underlies our enormous cognitive power, because we're not limited to just learning about the world through direct experience with the world. We can learn about it through what somebody else tells us, through pictures, through maps, through videos, through a whole host of different kinds of symbolic representations. So what we know is just hugely expanded by the fact that we can use different kinds of symbols, so this is clearly a very important aspect of the development of any human child.

 When we say ‘our rulers’, we mean those who are engaged in the manipulation of symbols. We must consider ourselves a symbolic, semantic class of life, and cannot cease from being so… those who control the symbols rule us.

Bankers, priests, lawyers,… politicians, [and news media] constitute one class [of our rulers] and work together. They do not produce any values but manipulate the values produced by others, and often pass signs for no value at all. Scientists and teachers also comprise a ruling class. They produce the main values mankind has, but, at present, they do not realize this. They are, in the main, ruled by the cunning methods of the first class.
  Alfred Korzybski

 Status symbols are medals you buy yourself.
  Bernhard Wicki
