Summary

This quote suggests that human creations often follow straight lines, which symbolize logic, rigidity, and predictability. On the other hand, the quote implies that nature and the universe, governed by a higher power, exhibit a more organic and curved nature. It highlights the idea that while humans can create order and symmetry in their designs, the complexity and beauty of the natural world are rooted in its unpredictable, ever-changing, and nonlinear patterns. The quote invites reflection on the contrasting approaches of humanity and the divine in creating and perceiving the world around us.
