Five Great Quotations about Originality
“The writer's genetic inheritance and her or his experiences shape the writer into a unique individual, and it is this uniqueness that is the writer's only stuff for sale.” – James Gunn
“When we see a natural style we are quite amazed and delighted, because we expected to see an author and find a man.” – Blaise Pascal
“Make it new.” – Ezra Pound
“When you take stuff from one writer, it's plagiarism; but when you take it from many writers, it's research.” – William Mizner
“Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.” – James F. Stephan
Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Minneapolis, Minnesota, or a small town like Nothing, Arizona, I can provide that second eye.
