originality


“What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.” -- Eugene Delacroix (Greatest French Romantic painter, 1798-1863)

“Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.” -- Dr. Laurence J. Peter (American "hierarchiologist", Educator and Writer, 1919-1990)


"Originality is merely an illusion” --M.C. Escher

“Originality exists in every individual because each of us differs from the others. We are all primary numbers divisible only by ourselves.” --Jean Guitton

“Utter originality is, of course, out of the question” --Ezra Pound
