Quote by Pindar

Men are the dreams of a shadow.


Men are the dreams of a shadow.

Summary

This quote means that humans, particularly men, possess an ephemeral and illusory existence similar to that of shadows. It suggests that the lives and actions of men are fleeting and temporary, akin to the transient nature of dreams. The quote hints at the idea that the true essence of existence may lie beyond the tangible world, where reality may be more elusive and evasive, much like a shadow or a dream.
