Can you explain this quote of the day?

Question

"A hypocrite is a person who--but who isn't?" - Don Marquis

Answer 1

A challenge.

I think the writer is just being cute.  A Hypocrite to me is a person who acts "holy" and "perfect" but then does that thing he/she professes to never do.  And we all do it.  Act good and make errors without even realizing it sometimes.  We are all hypocrites to someone else.  We are all different and live life differently than our friends neghbors, etc...who may view our actions as being hypocritical.  Hence, we all do it...
