Walker Percy Quotes

The Fateful Law Of Human Semiotics Is This: That Of All The Objects In The Entire Cosmos Which The Sign-user Can Apprehend Through The Conjoining Of Signifier And Signified (word Uttered And Thing Beheld), There Is One Which Forever Escapes His Comprehension
and That Is The Sign-user Himself ... The Self Of The Sign-user Can Never Be Grasped, Because, Once The Self Locates Itself At The Dead Center Of Its World, There Is No Signified To Which A Signifier Can Be Joined To Make A Sign. The Self Has No Sign Of Itself. No Signifier Applies. All Signifiers Apply Equally.
