“This is how a true Master works: he doesn’t try to guess what people want; he simply obeys his own desire and leaves it up to others to decide if they want to follow him. In other words, his power stems from his fidelity to his desire, from refusing to compromise on it.”

"In open country I'd rather meet a sheep than a lion; but in a cage I'd rather see a lion. Art is exactly that sort of cage, where we may safely contemplate all the sound and fury of human nature."
