"すべての美の中心には何か非人間的なものがある。"

Simplified Meaning:
Beauty often has a mysterious or strange element that doesn't quite fit with usual human emotions or experiences. This means there's something beyond our usual understanding involved. Imagine a stunning landscape, like a snow-covered mountain. It's breathtaking because it’s so vast and powerful, but it also feels a bit cold and unapproachable. This strange, almost other-worldly quality is what makes it so beautiful. Similarly, when we see a perfect, smooth sculpture, its flawless nature is both fascinating and a bit alien, since humans are inherently imperfect. In our lives, appreciating beauty often means recognizing this intriguing, unusual aspect that goes beyond ordinary human traits.
