Quant a miObsessed collector of quotes. A random sample of favourites, to be changed out, well, randomly:
"To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. "
- Thomas Edison
“Originality has nothing to do with priority. An image is like a musical key; just because someone used G-minor before doesn’t make Mozart a copycat.”
--Stephen Mitchell
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
--Douglas Adams
“To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.”
--Elbert Hubbard
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
~T.S. Eliot
and, of course:
“Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.”
--W.H. Auden
Quant a
la meva biblioteca“To be a book-collector is to combine the worst characteristics of a dope fiend with those of a miser.”
--Robertson Davies, "The Table Talk of Samuel Marchbanks”
