Men become superstitious, not because they have too much imagination, but because they are not aware that they have any.

Summary

This quote suggests that people tend to rely on superstitions not because they possess an excessive imagination, but rather because they are unaware of their own imaginative capabilities. It implies that when individuals lack awareness or understanding of their own imaginative power, they may lean towards superstitions to explain unknown phenomena or seek guidance in uncertain situations. Thus, superstitious beliefs may arise as a result of a lack of self-awareness and the inability to recognize and utilize one's own imagination.
