Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all.
Abraham Lincoln
Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
Steve Jobs
Every man is a creative cause of what happens, a primum mobile with an original movement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory it too good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another.
Voltaire
Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer.
Karl Marx
The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.
Karl Marx
Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.
Adam Smith
Labor was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things.
Adam Smith
I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.
Aaliyah
Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.
Thomas Paine
It's not an act. I love it. It's totally original. People go, 'What's going on with this guy? Why does he sound so weird? What is going on in his brain. I don't know. Just one day I suddenly woke up with a new brain.
Charlie Sheen
A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.
H. L. Mencken
Words derive their power from the original word.
Meister Eckhart
It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.
Virginia Woolf
An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
Stephen Fry
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
Aldous Huxley
All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory; they have no power over the substance of original justice.
Edmund Burke
