What anyone thinks of one's work cannot change it. Nothing can be said which can make it any better than it is, or any worse. .......... One should pay attention only to one's own vision, desire, and practice, in one's efforts to make a work of art. Who really knows how good it is? If we think of time, and its evaluations, still, the work will be what it is. The future will know if not the present. One should make without thought of value judgements on the part of others. ~ Igor Stravinsky
