Summary

This quote suggests that despite the power and capabilities of human reason, it is ultimately limited and insignificant compared to the vastness and complexity of Nature. No matter how much our reason may attempt to understand and explain the world, it is just a small fraction of the knowledge and truths that exist. It emphasizes the humbling nature of our intellectual faculties and expresses the idea that there is much more to the universe than what our reason can comprehend.
