Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.
Nearly all our originality comes from the stamp that time impresses upon our sensibility.
The greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.
Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.
It is necessary to any originality to have the courage to be an amateur.
Insist upon yourself. Be original.
