“Blind and deaf as a child, Helen Keller had no idea that the “words” her teacher signed into her palms actually referred to things. Then in a dramatic moment it came crashing in on her that she could use these words to refer to things and so talk about things, thereby being freed from her dark and silent prison. It shows so powerfully that words in themselves do not refer; rather people refer by means of their words.”

- William L. Craig
