->''Creative people have trouble recognising their skills as skills, because eventually they feel like second nature, and they don't feel real or practical […]. But it turns out, this stuff really is valuable. If it wasn’t, people wouldn’t be stealing it. Creativity doesn’t feel special or unique until you realise people have to plagiarise it.''

->''You say : "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"\\
And you claim these words as your own\\
But I've read well, and I've heard them said\\
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)\\
If you must write prose/poems\\
The words you use should be your own\\
Don't plagiarize or take "on loan"\\
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere\\
With a big nose, who knows\\
And who trips you up and laughs\\
When you fall\\
Who'll trip you up and laugh\\
When you fall\\
You say : "'Ere long done do does did"\\

->''"I was this close to starting my own little enterprise, man. But enter another software engineer. Not so young, not so bright, but very very sneaky. Ed Dillinger. So one night, our boy Flynn, he goes to his terminal, tries to read up his file. I get nothing on there, it's a big blank. Okay, now we take you three months later. Dillinger presents ENCOM with five video games, that's *he's* invented. The slime didn't even change the names, man! He gets a big, fat promotion. And thus begins his meteoric rise to... what is he now, Executive V.P.?"''

->''"I don’t worry about originality, a word our countrymen use to describe novelty. But Capote was unusually derivative. We used to play a game with Capote’s work. We’d read a passage from ''A Tree of Night'' or ''Other Voices, Other Rooms'' and then try to find whom he had stolen it from. Carson [=McCullers=] was his principal quarry, but he did very well with Eudora Welty. I even found scenes from old WarnerBros movies that he had lifted. He was ruthlessly unoriginal."''

->''"[[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]] sometimes talks about how he stole the 'Sicilians were spawned by n****rs' speech in ''Film/TrueRomance'' (which he describes as one of his finest moments) from a guy who just thought he was having a conversation with his buddy Quentin, and it gets a bit weird. Then you find out that he cribbed Sam Jackson's 'lay my vengeance' speech in ''PulpFiction'' from an old Creator/SonnyChiba movie, and you start to get suspicious...God, can you imagine talking to this guy? Like, as a person? Would you spend the whole time worried that if you said something clever it would show up in one of his movies and film students would cream themselves over it?"''
