The reality we can put into words is never reality itself.
All names of good and evil are images; they do not speak out, they only hint. He is a fool who seeks knowledge from them.
Even if any given terminology is a reflection of reality, by its very nature as a terminology it must be a selection of reality; and to this extent it must function also as a deflection of reality.
Language can do what it can’t say.
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
So long as we use a certain language, all questions that we can ask will have to be formulated in it and will thereby confirm the theory of the universe which is implied in the vocabulary and structure of the language.
