Quote by Karen Horney
Is not the tremendous strength in men of the impulse to creative work in every field precisely due to their feeling of playing a relatively small part in the creation of living beings, which constantly impels them to an overcompensation in achievement?
Summary
The quote suggests that men's strong drive for creative work in various fields stems from their awareness of their relatively small role in the process of creating living beings. This awareness creates a profound impulse within them to compensate for this perceived insignificance by striving for greatness and achievement in their chosen endeavors.
