Quote
It is often said that definitions state the meaning of words. This is true, but it is not exact. A word is merely a visual-auditory symbol used to represent a concept; a word has no meaning other than that of the concept it symbolizes, and the meaning of the concept consists of its units. It is not words, but concepts that man defines - by specifying their referents.— Ayn Rand
