The human plagiarism which is most difficult to avoid, for individuals... is the plagiarism of ourselves.

Marcel Proust

I think a very clear cut example of - dare I say - plagiarism is the Sam Smith-Tom Petty situation, where you have a song that is flagrantly... it is the hook from one song being used for another song. To me, that was a very obvious example of plagiarism. If somebody had done that to me, I would probably take a similar course of action.

Ben Gibbard

I am conscious about myself and everything, and then suddenly, or slowly, my conscious fades out. Switches off. And it's not existing, and that's a marvelous feeling. That from existing, I am not existing. And at that moment, nothing can happen to me.

Ingmar Bergman

An actually existing fly is more important than a possibly existing angel.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm simultaneously terrified of the thought? of existing forever and not existing at all. Wherein is my peace?

Hannah Hart

I'm obsessed with trompe l'oeil - the idea of something that is existing and is not existing.

Alessandro Michele
