Quotes about Semiotics

Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.

Words are but the signs of ideas.

Semiotic nudge is more about "Speak, Lord; your servant is listening" than it is "Listen, Lord; your servant is speaking."58

Jesus expressed an earthy, semiotic theology by materializing his message through various media, including images, stories, actions (stilled storms, healed limbs), and objects like spit, fig trees, bursting baskets, etc. He was a master semiotician. You might even say that Jesus' ministry was more a semiotics ministry than a preaching, teaching, or healing ministry.

We are symbols, and inhabit symbols.
