Quote by May Sarton
May we agree that private life is irrelevant? Multiple, mixed, ambiguous at best -- out of it we try to fashion the crystal clear, the singular, the absolute, and that is what is relevant; that is what matters.
Summary
The quote suggests that private life holds no importance and is inconsequential. It implies that our personal lives are complex, unclear, and filled with various elements, whereas what truly matters and holds relevance is our ability to simplify and create something clear, distinct, and absolute out of it. It implies a desire for clarity and singularity in order to find meaning and significance in our lives.
