Summary

This quote suggests that true originality is not found in conforming to societal norms and trying to be like everyone else. Instead, it suggests that originality arises from attempting to fit in, but ultimately failing to do so. It implies that by embracing our unique qualities and ideas, even if they may set us apart from the crowd, we can discover and express our true individuality. True originality, therefore, lies in not being afraid to deviate from the norm and embracing our failures or differences as a part of our personal identity.

How many attractions for us have our passing fellows in the streets, both male and female, which our ethics forbid us to express, which yet infuse so much pleasure into life. A lovely child, a handsome youth, a beautiful girl, a heroic man, a maternal woman, a venerable old man, charm us, though strangers, and we cannot say so, or look at them but for a moment.
