About this Quote

This quote by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola speaks to the concept of human exceptionalism. He is describing the concept that humans, unlike other creatures, have actually been given the capability to possess the qualities of all other creatures. This is a testament to the power of the divine, as it is just through the power of God that people can possess the qualities of all other creatures. This quote speaks to the idea that humans are special and distinct, which they have been provided a special present by God. It also speaks with the concept that people have the ability to discover and grow, and to become something more than what they were originally developed to be. This quote is a suggestion that humans have the prospective to be something higher than what they were initially developed to be, and that they need to make every effort to reach their complete capacity.
