Understanding this quote
The quote expresses a resigned view of criticism: whenever something is said or done, at least one person is likely to take offense. “Someone or other” makes the identity unimportant, while “bound to” conveys strong expectation rather than a specific prediction. It treats offending someone as an almost unavoidable part of speaking or acting.
