Summary
This quote suggests that Quentin, the person being addressed, has an unrealistic expectation of others. It implies that Quentin consistently fails to recognize and accept people for who they truly are. Instead, Quentin may have an inclination to project his own ideals onto others, setting himself up for disappointment when they inevitably act in accordance with their own nature instead of conforming to Quentin's expectations. The quote highlights the importance of understanding and appreciating individuality rather than expecting others to conform to one's own predefined standards.
