About This Quote

The meaning of the words is necessary and not their extent. This quote can be interpreted in two different ways. First, it can be taken to mean that the meaning of a word is more important than its actual definition. This can be seen when someone is trying to argue with another person. The second interpretation, which has more merit, is that the actual meaning of the words is necessary but not the extent in which they are used.
