The most original of authors are not so because they advance what is new, but more because they know how to say something, as if it had never been said before. – Johann von Goethe
Perhaps our originality manifests itself most strikingly in what we do with that which we did not originate. To discover something wholly new can be a matter of chance, of idle tinkering, or even of the chronic dissatisfaction of the untalented. – Eric Hoffer
