Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think of yourself.
About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment.
LAW 38 Think As You Like But Behave Like Others If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness.
True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.
It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.
Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
People who take time to be alone usually have depth, originality, and quiet reserve.
