The Madhyamika Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna said that words are like fingers pointing at the moon. Many people look at the fingers, never seeing the moon to which they point.

“Die grenzen meiner sprache sind die grenzen meiner welt”

“The limits of my language are the limits of my world”
-Ludwig Wittgenstein
