A thought is an arrow shot at the truth; it can hit a point, but not cover the whole target. But the archer is too well satisfied with his success to ask anything farther.

A thought is an arrow shot at the truth; it can hit a point,

Summary

This quote suggests that a thought or idea is like an arrow aimed at the truth, capable of reaching a certain aspect of it but unable to grasp the entire reality. The archer, symbolizing the thinker, becomes content with hitting the point he aimed for, without questioning or seeking a deeper understanding of the bigger picture. It highlights the tendency of individuals to settle for partial truths or surface-level knowledge, without challenging themselves to explore further and gain a more comprehensive insight.
