Originality is undetected plagiarism.

William Inge

What is originality? Undetected plagiarism.

William Inge

Originality is nothing but judicious plagiarism.

Voltaire

All originality and no plagiarism makes for dull preaching.

Charles Spurgeon

The ethics of plagiarism have turned into the narcissism of small differences: because journalism cannot own up to its heavily derivative nature, it must enforce originality on the level of the sentence.

Malcolm Gladwell

After some time passed in studying - and even imitating - the works of others, I would recommend the student to endeavour to be original, and to remember that originality should not be undiscovered plagiarism.

Henry Peach Robinson

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. Basically it is nothing other than this fear we have so often talked about, but fear spread to everything, fear of the greatest as of the smallest, fear, paralyzing fear of pronouncing a word, although this fear may not only be fear but also a longing for something greater than all that is fearful.

Franz Kafka

What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness. I fear you may be too late, my confused, unfortunate, friend.

Brandon Sanderson

Workers all too frequently have been taking it on the chin. They're working hard and falling behind, all too frequently.

Tom Perez

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

Marcel Proust

Of course, the liar often imagines that he does no harm as long as his lies go undetected.

Sam Harris

I am now to offer some thoughts upon that sameness or familiarity which we frequently find between passages in different authors without quotation. This may be one of three things either what is called Plagiarism, or Imitation, or Coincidence.

James Boswell

Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.

Carl Jung

In my opinion the hectic and almost frantic pace of modern living is a clear sign of the fear we have of being and of life. And as long as this fear exists in a person's unconscious, he will run faster and do more so as not to feel his fear.

Alexander Lowen

We live in an era when rapid change breeds fear, and fear too often congeals us into a rigidity which we mistake for stability.

Lynn Townsend White, Jr.

Of course there are regrets. I shall regret always that I found my own authentic voice in politics. I was too conservative, too conventional. Too safe, too often. Too defensive. Too reactive. Later, too often on the back foot.

John Major
