Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.

Laurence J. Peter

Originality doesn't consist of saying it first, originality consists of saying it in a way that is specifically tailored to the moment in which you are addressing - and at the moment when the complications arise, challenging the logic of what you're doing.

Michael Eric Dyson

Holding still for a moment, what a moment this is, Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss

Peter Gabriel

in time of daffodils(who know the goal of living is to grow) forgetting why,remember how in time of lilacs who proclaim the aim of waking is to dream, remember so(forgetting seem) in time of roses(who amaze our now and here with paradise) forgetting if,remember yes in time of all sweet things beyond whatever mind may comprehend, remember seek(forgetting find) and in a mystery to be (when time from time shall set us free) forgetting me,remember me

e. e. cummings

I don't believe too much in originality... you learn art from other art and then looking into somebody's face or landscape is the point of departure to do your work of art.

Paterson Ewen

From an art perspective, I don't know how you get better than 'Beetlejuice.' In terms of originality and a look, it's 100% unique.

Michael Keaton

Such shame is not even skin deep. And as to forgetting, surely, you know that is Woman's First and Greatest Art?

Richard Aldington

Originality is another criterion of aesthetic value. We may formulate an originality principle, according to which highly valuable works of art provide hitherto unavailable insights.... Notice that, although originality is a necessary condition of high aesthetic value, it is far from a sufficient condition. Many original works have little or no aesthetic value. An artwork may present a novel but uninteresting perspective, or one that is original but wrong.

James Young

From an art perspective, I dont know how you get better than Beetlejuice. In terms of originality and a look, its 100% unique.

Michael Keaton

The first time I heard 'Jolene,' I was 12 years old, and it was performed by Jack White. I remember watching that video and forgetting it was from a woman's point of view, and forgetting it was a country song, and forgetting it was originally by Dolly Parton.

Samuel Larsen

For the first time in human history the psychology that is a prerequisite for intimacy has become the psychology that is a prerequisite for species survival.

Warren Farrell

Cerebration is the enemy of originality in art.

Martin Ritt

Originality in art puts charm where it wasn't.

Eli Siegel

Originality is the art of concealing your sources.

Franklin P. Jones

Originality is the art of concealing your source.

Franklin P. Jones

The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions.

Paul Klee
