"Human communication depends largely on signs in the form of written or spoken words, images, or gestures. These symbols are conscious and explicit representations of reality ⎯ of objects, actions, and concepts in the world around us. But there is another aspect of symbolism that is equally important though less explicit: the side that relates to our inner psychological and spiritual world. Within this inner world, a symbol can represent some deep intuitive wisdom that eludes direct expression."
⎯ Fontana, David. The Secret Language of Symbols .
San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 1993: 9-10. Print.
Student version: David Fontana says that symbols serve two important purposes. They function as signs that help us communicate with one another, and they also help us understand inner wisdom that is difficult to express.
