Quote by Ambrose Bierce
I believe we shall come to care about people less and less. The more people one knows the easier it becomes to replace them. It's one of the curses of London.
Summary
This quote suggests that as we become more acquainted with a large number of people, we may start to value individual relationships less. The idea is that the more people we know, the easier it is to see them as interchangeable and replaceable in our lives. The statement specifically mentions London as a setting where this phenomenon is particularly prevalent, implying that in bustling and cosmopolitan environments, it may be even more common for people to develop a diminished sense of attachment and care towards others.
