If we want the Truth, was the first word a mistake?

'One of the strongest Buddhist convictions is that it is not possible to express in words what is most real, sublime and ultimate. For this reason even the finest, most lucid and consistent doctrine can only be regarded as provisional and as obscuring the ultimate truth rather than revealing it.'
[p. 81, 'Buddha: [foreword by the Dalai Lama] William MacQuitty, 1969, Thomas Nelson and Son Ltd.]
