The symbolic view of things is a consequence of long absorption in images. Is sign language the real language of Paradise? (Elliott Sam)
The whole visible universe is but a storehouse of images and signs to which the imagination will give a relative place and value; it is a sort of pasture which the imagination must digest and transform. (Elliott Sam)
In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by silence and by speech acting together, comes a double significance. In the symbol proper, what we can call a symbol, there is ever, more or less distinctly and directly, some embodiment and revelation of the Infinite; the Infinite is made to blend itself with the Finite, to stand visible, and as it were, attainable there. By symbols, accordingly, is man guided and commanded, made happy, made wretched. (Elliott Sam)
If you are to reach masses of people in this world, you must do it by a sign language. Whether your vehicle be commerce, literature, or politics, you can do nothing but raise signals, and make motions to the people. (Elliott Sam)

All abstract sciences are nothing but the study of relations between signs. (Elliott Sam)
The present age prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, fancy to reality, the appearance to the essence for in these days illusion only is sacred, truth profane. (Elliott Sam)
Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation. The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value. (Elliott Sam)
Mr. Burns is a father symbol to me, and you can omit the word symbol. (Elliott Sam)
“I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.” (Elliott Sam)
I never think of myself as any kind of sex symbol, but I get letters from all over, all sorts. It's really cool. I get a lot from inmates, which is kind of scary. But the best was the guy who wanted to send me a plane ticket to fly me to his prom. (Elliott Sam)
I don't consider myself a sex symbol. (Elliott Sam)
I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott. (Elliott Sam)
I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott. (Elliott Sam)
