Originality Quotations Click Originality is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe - you can't take a taxi.Alda, Alan There is not less wit nor less invention in applying rightly a thought one finds in a book, than in being the first author of that thought.Bayle, Pierre Dictionnaire Historique et Critique, 1730 I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike-and I don't think there really is a distinction between the two-are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.Bloom, Harold The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use?Carnegie, Dale Of all the passions that possess mankind, The love of novelty rules most the mind; In search of this, from realm to realm we roam; Our fleets come fraught with ev'ry folly home.Foote, Samuel Augustus Nobody can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.Harris, Sidney J I would sort out all the arguments and see which belonged to fear and which to creativeness. Other things being equal, I would make the decision which had the largest number of creative reasons on its side.Hathaway, Katharine Butler It is perfectly easy to be original by violating the laws of decency and the canons of good taste.Holmes, Sr, Oliver Wendell The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it lovesJung, Carl Gustav The principal mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiersKoestler, Arthur Let no one say that I have said nothing new... the arrangement of the subject is new. When we play tennis, we both play with the same ball, but one of us places it betterPascal, Blaise The more intelligent one is, the more men of originality one finds. Ordinary people find no difference between menPascal, Blaise Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.Peter, Laurence J Don't tread in other's footprints, unless it takes you further than you were before.Richardson, Joseph Collin Originality is not seen in single words or even sentences. Originality is the sum total of a man's thinking or his writing.Singer, Isaac Bashevis « Previous Page | Next Page » |
