Quote by Arthur Koestler

The definition of the individual was: a multitude of one million divided by one million.

The definition of the individual was: a multitude of one mil

Summary

This quote humorously plays with the concept of individuality by giving it a mathematical twist. It suggests that an individual can be defined as a multitude of one million people divided by the same number, which ultimately equates to just one person. In other words, it implies that each person is as unique and special as a million, yet on their own, they are just a single entity. The quote hints at the idea that even though we are part of a broader collective, each individual is distinct and significant in their own right.
