One Perspective

Positive

Negative

“The greatest guilt today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping ones eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: "But I didn't mean this!"

-Ayn Rand, 1946

When the master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists.

Next best is a leader who is loved.

Next, one who is feared.

The worst is one who is despised.

If you don’t trust the people,

you make them untrustworthy.

The master doesn’t talk, he acts.

When his work is done,

the people say, “Amazing:

we did it, all by ourselves!”

-Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

translated by Stephen Mitchell

"Pray for the dead; fight like hell for the living."

“I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?”

-Richard Bach, One

I have been bold to include examples of my work alongside the words of some whom I have respected; a few of those who faultlessly have voiced perspectives that needed our attention. These words are but a few that have inspired me so, having played a part in shaping my moral character, they belong here as well.

I have invested myself in this web site in part as a creative resume but more importantly to express actively my art. If my voice can provoke a response, if my visual utterance can inspire and perhaps be catalytic to anyone's growth then I am truly blessed. To all who view these pages, thank you for sharing the space. May you strive for truth in your own expression.

Merry met,

-Cat Lubin
