As I see it, creative achievement is the very heart of the human enterprise... The destiny of man, of all men and of each man, is that he is condemned to invent what he will be - condemned if he is fearful but blessed if he welcomes the great adventure.

The pictures began to teach me. By generalizing a personal dilemma, they resolved it.
