Mortals are odd creatures in that sense–flawed yet hopeful. One can study them through millennia and still get nowhere near full understanding of their nature.

About This Quote

Mortals are odd creatures in that sense – flawed yet hopeful. One can study them through millennia and still get nowhere near full understanding of their nature. Humans are complex and contradictory. They can be as unpredictable as the weather, as mundane as the sunrise, as sinister as a villain in a storybook, as poignant as a poet's verse or as romantic as a movie star's smile.
