There is a fatality about all physical and intellectual distinction, the sort of fatality that seems to dog through history the faltering steps of kings.

Would you explain the sentences?

Thank you

In this world (he says) it isn't recommended to be special, because this leads to failure. (I assume because the rest of the people don't like to see that you're special, envy and sabotage you, and so on).

If you're special/different, you can fail in the same way in which the kings fail, because they are different from most of us.
