"The arts must not isolate themselves from real life, although they have their own kind of autonomy from it. This at least if they do not want to have to pay with their own lives... What they are according to their essence, they can only be within a historical reality, on the ground of which they are born... Precisely on this ground the task they set for themselves arises, which only they can solve, precisely because their creative reason is one of transposition into reality.

The arts must not isolate themselves from real life, although they have their own kind of autonomy from it. This at least if they do not want to have to pay with their own lives... What they are according to their essence, they can only be within a historical reality, on the ground of which they are born... Precisely on this ground the task they set for themselves arises, which only they can solve, precisely because their creative reason is one of transposition into reality.
""Artele nu trebuie să se izoleze de viața reală, deși ele au față de aceasta felul lor de autonomie. Aceasta cel puțin dacă ele nu vor să aibă a plăti cu propria lor viață... Ceea ce sunt ele potrivit esenței lor, ele nu pot fi decât în cadrul unei realități istorice, pe terenul căreia ele se nasc... Tocmai pe acest teren ia naștere sarcina pe care și-o pun, pe care numai ele o pot rezolva și anume tocmai fiindcă rațiunea lor creatoare este una de transpunere în realitate."
