Quote by Aldous Huxley

A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.

A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too

Summary

This quote suggests that due to the excessive complexity and diversity of a large city, it is impossible for any individual to fully understand or experience all aspects of its daily life. The quote implies that no matter how much one tries to participate in a city's activities, there will always be countless other experiences, events, and perspectives that they remain unaware of or unable to engage with. It highlights the vastness and uncontainable nature of urban life, emphasizing the limitations of personal understanding within such a dynamic environment.
