Quote from ‘The Art of Reasoning. Chapter II. What is a Sign?’

Quote: 

The likeness has no dynamical connection with the object it represents; it simply happens that its qualities resemble those of that object, and excite analogous sensations in the mind for which it is a likeness. But it really stands unconnected with them.
