#originality

Are you a new strength and a new right? A first movement? A self-rolling wheel? Can you also compel stars to revolve around you?

Genius, in truth, means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise; seek what they sought.

Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.

Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation.

Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for nothing but to inspire.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.

Don't follow anyone, because following means you are imitating. And imitation is the murder of your originality.
