"Writing is that means by which the world values the Way, but writing is no more than words and words, too, have value. Meaning is what give value to words, but meaning is dependant on something. What meaning depends on cannot be expressed in language, yet the world transmits writing because it values language. Although the world values writing, I , for my part, do not think it worthy of being valued, because what is valued is not what is really valuable."
Do you know who said it? Do you agree or disagree?

It depends on what he believes is being valued. My guess is it's C.S. Lewis.
I do not know who wrote this but I definitely disagree.
Even if words, language or communication(in any form)enhance the true value of the object, then it truly is valuable, in and of itself.
