"Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch them and hold them and be fair to them."

This is from one of my very best friends, Ranier Maria Rilke. Okay, so he is dead...he's still one of the most important people in my life. And think, (he would like you to) each of us is a work of art in our own right...how, so much more then, should we not approach one another with love...to touch and hold and be fair to one another. We are all born of infinite solitude, criticisim is really so useless in the big spectrum.

Communication, yes. But, isn't it strange how often criticism gets used as a cruel and impotent substitute?
