"Plus une œuvre d'art est parfaite, plus elle dépend du hasard pour exister"
— Walter Benjamin

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the best pieces of art aren't just about an artist's skill; they often come about because of unexpected things happening by luck. Think about a painter. They might plan their painting, but sometimes a splash of paint falls in the right spot by accident, making the artwork even more special. Or consider a photographer who captures a perfect photo because an unexpected butterfly landed at the right moment. These little, lucky moments can make a big difference. So, in our lives, it's not just about planning everything perfectly. Sometimes, we need to embrace the unexpected and trust that these surprises can lead to great results. Being open to chance and the unpredictable can make our achievements and experiences even better.
