originality is nonexistent

all posts, english, quotations Add comments

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.

Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows, also Digg submissions.

Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul, or that will make Digg front page. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic and earn you many Diggs.

Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery, because we can track it anyhow—celebrate it if you feel like it.

In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said:
“It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”

— Jim Jarmusch
