I disagree with this sentiment.  This seems to me to be a dehumanizing
influence, causing a person to neglect their own talents.  I would hope
that no one would be in any long-term awe of the work of another human,
since after all it is is quite conceivable (in the literal sense) that
they could produce the same.
