Quote by Walter Pater
In a sense it might even be said that our failure is to form habits: for, after all, habit is relative to a stereotyped world, and meantime it is only the roughness of the eye that makes two persons, things, situations, seem alike.
Summary
This quote suggests that our failure lies in the inability to form habits. Habit, according to the quote, is based on a stereotyped world, making everything appear similar. However, the quote implies that it is the roughness of our perception that creates differences between individuals, things, and situations. In other words, failing to form habits allows us to appreciate and acknowledge the uniqueness and diversity in our experiences and challenges the notion of a stagnant and unchanging world.
