How
Figures Often Resemble Their Masters
"This
happens because our judgment is that which moves the hand to create
lineaments of figures through varying aspects until it is satisfied.
Because judgment is one of the powers of the soul, by which it shapes,
according to its will, the form of the body wherein it resides,
thus, having to reproduce with the hands a human body, it naturally
reproduces the one which it first invented. From this it follows
that he who falls in love, naturally loves things similar to himself."
