Oneは1人です
For example:
人は運命を感受せざるを得ない。One cannot quarrel with destiny.
It’s usually used in sayings or quotes or poems, it’s a very literary (文学的な) term.

If I'm understanding you correctly, then your question is specifically about the usage of "One" in that sentence, right?
If so, then "one" is a commonly used expression to talk about a person. Think of it as "a person" or "we", etc.
For example:
One does not learn without studying. "One" here refers to everyone. You cannot make progress if you do not study
Or, if like me, you like the Lord of The Rings, or memes, people often joke like this, saying: "One does not simply (e.g. walk into Mordor) this means it's something difficult to do. For instances, "One does not simply become fluent in a language", means that learning a language is difficult for people.
To summarize, think of one in that context as less a number and more a person or people. Hope this helped, ながくてごめんなさい
