“what is originality ? undetected plagiarism!”

“All wisdom is plagiarism; only stupidiy is original.”

“God loves the plagiarist. And so it is written, 'God created humankind in His image, in the image of God He created them." God is the original plagiarizer. With a lack of reasonable sources from which to filch - man created in the image of what? the animals? - the creation of man was an act of reflexive plagiarizing; God looted the mirror. When we plagiarize, we are likewise creating in the image and participating in the completion of Creation.”

“Anticipatory plagiarism occurs when someone steals your original idea and publishes it a hundred years before you were born.”

“The ethics of plagiarism have turned into the narcissism of small differences: because journalism cannot own up to its heavily derivative nature, it must enforce originality on the level of the sentence.”

“Look and you will find it - what is unsought will go undetected.”
