Johnson, Samuel

Clapton, Eric

The true is inimitable, the false untransformable.

Bresson, Robert

Webster, Daniel

No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.

Maurois, Andre

Packer, David

A man is original when he speaks the truth that has always been known to all good men.

Kavanagh, Patrick

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.

Hoffer, Eric

Originality consists in trying to be like everybody else --and failing.

Radiguet, Raymond

All profoundly original art looks ugly at first.

Greenberg, Clement

I invent nothing, I rediscover.

Rodin, Auguste

Your manuscript is both good and original; but the parts that are good are not original, and the parts that are original are not good.

Johnson, Samuel

To put away one's own original thoughts in order to take up a book is a sin against the Holy Ghost.

Tuchman, Barbara

Lichtenberg, Georg C.

Originality is the one thing unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of.

Mill, John Stuart

A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.

Mencken, H. L.

Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.

Lebowitz, Fran

It's easier to be original and foolish than original and wise.

Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm Von

People would rather be wrong than be different.

Jacobsen, Henry

Nearly all our originality comes from the stamp that time impresses upon our sensibility.

Baudelaire, Charles

Everything has been said, and we have come too late, now that men have been living and thinking for seven thousand years and more.
