“There is only one thing which is generally safe from plagiarism -- self-denial.”

“Stealing from one author is plagiarism; from many authors, research.”

“Those who have not discovered that worldview is the most important thing about a man… should consider the train of circumstances which have with perfect logic proceeded from this. The denial of universals carries with it the denial of everything transcending experience. The denial of everything transcending experience means inevitably… the denial of truth. With the denial of objective truth there is not escape from the relativism of “man the measure of all things.”

“To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.”

“I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky.In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics:Plagiarize!Plagiarize!Let no one else's work evade your eyes!Remember why the good Lord made your eyes!So don't shade your eyes,But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize -Only be sure always to call it please 'research'."[Lobachevsky]”

“if you copy from one author, it’s plagiarism, but if you copy from many, it’s research.”
