{{quote|and Epimetheus is given a gift by the gods. And the gift he is given is Pandora. And everything's great until one day, she, out of curiosity or for whatever reason, smashes a jar that she has, in which all of the things that are bad, all of the things that make life hard, the way that the story is sometimes told, that remains, after all of the evils in the world have flown out into the world, is hope. I've never been quite sure how to interpret that, because you can think of hope as remaining as being this wonderful, pure, happy thing. Or you can think of it as the final cruelty of the gods, as they've loosed all of these terrible things upon us, and then just to make it little worse, they've given us all hope.|Neil Gaiman|''<nowiki>Tech Support (Neil Gaiman Answers Mythology Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | </nowiki>WIRED)''}}
