Understanding this quote
The quote distinguishes between two ways of experiencing reality. One is defined by things that can be measured precisely, using tools such as a line and a rule. The other belongs to feelings and imagination, which cannot be reduced to measurements. Together, these “worlds” suggest that understanding life involves both evidence and inner experience.
