Wallace Stevens Poet

When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work.

Jean Cocteau Poet

Insist upon yourself. Be original.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist

Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.

Thomas Carlyle Philosopher

Anyone who attempts anything original in the world must expect a bit of ridicule.

Alberto Juantorena Olympic Athlete

I always try to improve, to find new ways of expressing myself, to keep looking for truth and originality.

Burt Lancaster Film Actor

There is no such thing as originality. It has all been said before, suffered before. If a person knows that, is it any wonder love becomes mechanical and death just a scene to be shunned? There is no absolute knowledge to be gained from either. Just another ride on the merry-go-round, another blurred scene of faces smiling and faces grieved.
