Summary

This quote suggests that imagination and a sense of humor are inherent qualities in humans that serve different purposes. Imagination allows individuals to envision possibilities and compensate for any perceived shortcomings or limitations they may have.

Together, these qualities help individuals find balance and navigate life's challenges with creativity and lightness.

I would not unduly praise the virtue of restraint. It is often merely temperamental. But it is not always a sign of coldness. It may be pride.
