“… to transmit a message; that means creating one of the social connections we call ‘information’, a ‘question’ or a ‘command’: the one who sends a signal, i.e. the one who produces it and thereby sets in motion what we call a ‘semiotic act’, does so in order to inform a recipient about something, to ask him about something or to give him an order; and this information, this communication or this command constitutes the message that the sender tries to convey by using the signal…”
(L. J. Prieto)

(Henry Miller)
