"It's only in bad novels that people are divided into two camps and have nothing to do with each other. In real life everything gets mixed up! Don't you think you'd have to be a hopeless nonentity to play only one role all your life, to have only one place in society, always to stand for the same thing?"

(A character called "Lara" in "Dr. Zhivago" by Boris Pasternak)

Given the context, it might look different, but as such the last sentence of this excerpt makes me good sense separately from the first two sentences, which themselves make very good sense :-)
