The Originals

    * Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it.    
   
    * A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word just as good.

    * Genius borrows nobly. When Shakespeare is charged with debts to his authors, Landor replies: “Yet he was more original than his originals. He breathed upon dead bodies and brought them into life.”
   
— Ralph W. Emerson
