Words Always Refer to Other Words

Derrida says the Bible contains multitudes of meanings, which is risky and scary. When we have one meaning, we can control it, but that's just not how words work, he says. Derrida: Everything is always kind of seeping out from edges of that one meaning. There's always more to the story,. Of course, words can't mean just anything; they will almost always mean more than you intend them to me. And that's just the nature of language.
