No one is so completely disenchanted with the world, or knows it so thoroughly, or is so utterly disgusted with it, that when it begins to smile upon him he does not become partially reconciled to it.

Summary

This quote suggests that even though someone may be deeply disillusioned and disgusted with the world, their negative perception can momentarily change when they receive some form of positivity or validation from it. Despite their complete understanding and dissatisfaction with the world, they cannot help but be slightly drawn towards it when it unexpectedly offers them a glimmer of hope or happiness.
