“True originality is not to be reached by striving after it. A man is original or he is not, as it happens, and as Heaven pleases; but, if he be original, he will be so without knowing it, and his originality will be shown in what we call the whole man, not in an assumed and startling vesture.”
“It's awfully hard to know if anything is truly original, anyway. An original thing would be so foreign, we wouldn't be able to recognize it, would we?”
“It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation.”
“Originality consists in thinking for yourself, not in thinking differently from other people.”
“The test of the originality for an idea is not the absence of one single predecessor but the presence of multiple but incompatible ones.”
“Many people ... go through life with hardly an original thought; gravitate from one pleasure or amusement to another; gain a livelihood doing what someone else has assigned; flee boredom as best they can; marry and beget children; and then, without having made the slightest difference of any unique significance, die and decay like any animal.”
