Quote by Diane Arbus
Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that's what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. It's just extraordinary that we should have been given these peculiarities. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.

It highlights the tendency for people to focus on flaws rather than positive attributes when observing someone. The quote also suggests that the existence of these imperfections is ironic, as it undermines an individual's ability to control how they are perceived. Ultimately, it emphasizes the unpredictability and complexity of human nature and the inherent discrepancy between our intentions and the way others interpret them.
