Imitator Quotations

I am begining to look more and more like my miserable imitators.

The poet, being an imitator like a painter or any other artist, must of necessity imitate one of three objects - things as they were or are, things as they are said or thought to be, or things as they ought to be. The vehicle of expression is language - either current terms or, it may be, rare words or metaphors.

Whoever the master is whom you prefer, this must only be a directive for you. Otherwise you will never be anything but an imitator.

Most imitators attempt the inimitable.

Bring individuality into things, do not just be an imitator. To imitate is to miss life.

It is not imitation that makes sons. It is sonship that make imitators.
