Originality. Where does it come from?

by Samuel Febres

Jennifer Herrick, a friend of mine had this quote on her google messenger. It was too good not to share.

“Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.”

– Laurence J. Peter

I think I’ll add a couple more:

‘Good artists copy, great artists steal.’

– Pablo Picasso

9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

– King Solomon

I love these types of quotes because some of the most important people in their fields recognize that even though they’re a pioneer in an area, they are honest about their art and inspiration.
