Summary

This quote suggests that there is no longer a distinct separation between art and life. The term 'art' has lost its relevance as it no longer holds significant meaning to us. Instead, the focus should be on constructing our environment in accordance with creative principles derived from a fixed principle. This implies that art should be integrated into our everyday surroundings, blurring the lines between artistic expression and practical functionality. It emphasizes the importance of design and creative thinking in shaping our surroundings and enhancing our experiences in life.
