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.

It highlights the vastness and uncontainable nature of urban life, emphasizing the limitations of personal understanding within such a dynamic environment.
