Inflated authority
Description
"Poet: Shkliarinsky, A. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1975
Written on the balloon, arrows and seal, respectively:
“Authority,” “Criticism,” and “To fire.”
You do not need to try to put a block
To criticism, in public or in private.
You’ve earned respect because you walk the walk.
When criticized, be open, you’ll survive it."
