Quote by Arthur Koestler

Prometheus is reaching out for the stars with an empty grin on his face.


Prometheus is reaching out for the stars with an empty grin

Summary

This quote evokes a sense of ambition and longing for greatness. "Prometheus," a figure from Greek mythology known for stealing fire from the gods to benefit humanity, here represents human aspiration and the pursuit of knowledge or achievement. However, the mention of an "empty grin" suggests that despite reaching for the stars, there may be a sense of disillusionment or emptiness, perhaps implying that the pursuit of greatness does not always lead to fulfillment or happiness.
