the Cult of Originality 2







 Composers shouldn't think too much
     - it interferes with their plagiarism.
Howard Dietz


















In our day the conventional element in literature
is elaborately disguised by a law of copyright
pretending that every work of art
is an invention distinctive enough
to be patented.
Northrop Frye















Plagiarists are always suspicious
     of being stolen from.
Samuel Taylor

















I have a theory that the only original
    things we ever do are mistakes.
Billy Joel













The difference between a bad artist
and a good one is: the bad artist
seems to copy a great deal;
the good one really does.
William Blake
















Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.
Pablo Picasso
