Please translate the following quote into Japanese writing:
""Words are nothing, mean nothing, words are small shapes in the gorgeous chaos of the word. But they are shapes, they bring the world into focus.."

Your quote looks incorrect. I think you mean world instead of word.
What is your source?
If the quote is from Diane Ackerman in A Natural History of the Senses then it probably should read:-
"Still, when we try to describe a smell, words fail us like the fabrications they are. Words are small shapes in the gorgeous chaos of the world. But they are shapes, they bring the world into focus, they corral ideas, they hone thoughts, they paint watercolors of perception."
I can't translate so hopefully someone else (AK?) can assist once you clarify the quote or what you want translated.
