Originality is the art of concealing your source.

Franklin P. Jones

Creativity is the art of concealing your sources.

Coco Chanel

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it.

Jim Jarmusch

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

Patience is the art of concealing your impatience.

Guy Kawasaki

True art consists in concealing art.

Jean-Georges Noverre

American girls are as clever at concealing their parents as English women are at concealing their past.

Oscar Wilde

Knowing how to paint and to use one's colors rightly has not any connection with originality. This originality consists in properly expressing your own impressions.

Thomas Couture

Art lies in concealing art.

Ovid

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.
