"The bees pillage the flowers here and there but they make honey of them which is all their own; it is no longer thyme or marjolaine: so the pieces borrowed from others he will transform and mix up into a work all his own." (Michel de Montaigne, 1533 - 1592)
I love this! Thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteThis could help people who think Phil's ideas are unusable because they are given by Phil.
ReplyDeleteA very postmodern thought. Highly relevant to Tarantino and Reservoir Dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Phil's ideas are unusable' is such a nonsense... what's the point then, of working alongside creative individuals with time and experience on their side, if one must ignore - on principle - the fruits of that time and experience? We're all working in creative partnership - and we're all indebted to one another... oh, and I LOVE this quote - hmm - quote of the day? Another blog favourite getting started?
ReplyDeleteAwesome plan! I vote Quote of the Day for blog favourite :D
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of an inspirational 'quote of they day' post perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI have a Vincent Lombardi 'quote's' screen print above my desk - nothing like a good piece of wisdom to get the old thinker going.
