[woodcut-rob mcgovern, 1984]
No man is free who is not master of himself.
- Epictetus (Greek philospher, c. 100 C.E.)
Let him that would move the world first move himself.
- Socrates
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
- Opening scene of "Faust"
When the form of a passionate and truthful work is denigrated over its substance, the critic is often the one lacking in substance. The heart of the matter is likely opened wide and the wounded ego fails to recognize the mirrored self.
