SYMBOL, n. Something...

Source: WRITERS

SYMBOL, n. Something that is supposed to typify or stand for something else. Many symbols are mere survivals -- as funereal urns carved on memorial monuments. We cannot stop making them, but we can give them a name that conceals our helplessness.

Source: The Devil's Dictionary, 1911.
-- Ambrose Bierce, (Jun 24 1842-1914), US journalist, short-story writer; He was a noted wit, satirist and sardonic short story writer who disappeared while covering the Mexican revolution.
