Text Quotes
It seems evident that everything which exists in nature, is natural, no matter how simple or complicated a phenomenon it is; and on no occasion can the so-called ‘supernatural’ be anything else than a completely natural law, though it may, at the moment, be above and beyond the present understanding (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
The word is not the thing (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Whatever you say it is, it isn’t (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
We see what we see because we miss all the finer details (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Who rules our symbols, rules us (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Second order effects, such as belief in belief, makes fanaticism (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Whatever you say about something, it is not (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Identity is invariably false to facts (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Whatever you may say something is, it is not! (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won’t (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
A person does what he does because he sees the world as he sees it (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Riches I need not, nor man’s empty praise (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
The map is not the territory (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. If we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. Therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
The objective level is not words, and cannot be reached by words alone. We must point our finger and be silent, or we will never reach this level (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
To use words to sense reality is like going with a lamp to search for darkness (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
I want to make clear only that words are not the things spoken about, and that there is no such thing as an object in absolute isolation (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Man’s achievements rest upon the use of symbols... we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
The map is not the territory... The only usefulness of a map depends on similarity of structure between the empirical world and the map (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Two important characteristics of maps should be noticed. A map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
Thus, we see that one of the obvious origins of human disagreement lies in the use of noises for words (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
If words are not things, or maps are not the actual territory, then, obviously, the only possible link between the objective world and the linguistic world is found in structure, and structure alone (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
If a psychiatric and scientific inquiry were to be made upon our rulers, mankind would be appalled at the disclosures (Alfred Korzybski Quotes)
