"Why should you particularly like a man who resembles you? There is nothing in you to like; you know that. Ah, confound you! What a change you have made in yourself! A good reason for taking to a man, that he shows you what you have fallen away from, and what you might have been! Change places with him, and would you have been looked at by those blue eyes as he was, and commiserated by that agitated face as he was? Come on, and have it out in plain words! You hate the fellow."
I think that this quote could mean that you should step into another person's shoes. The first part of this quote could mean that if you don't like anything in yourself then why would you like someone who is like you. The second part could mean that you should step into the other person's shoes and see it their way and if you saw what they saw then you might hate yourself too. I think the significance in this quote would be that to not judge someone until you see their point of view.
