A book written within, contains ideas and thoughts from all over, where each page explains itself.

I don't need to always quote others because I actually have original thoughts".

~R. Alan Woods [2012]

It’s not a lack of imagination, but a lot of apprehension of getting the duplication done of old thoughts unwittingly often makes a true leader think umpteen times before sharing his quotes.

You couldn't get more original than Laura. Laura. Yes, she was an original, all right. One of a kind. Did they break her mold or what, pal? Or...or did it self-destruct? Still, Laura. The one and the only. Such a plain name for a unique cutie. But perhaps my acuity is not without its problems. I ruin everything: a stupid story to be tapped out on my tomb's stone. I ruined even Laura. And an original ruin is rare. Just ask the archaeologist, "Egypt, again?" Just ask me, "Laura, again?" and we'll both respond: "Yes, again and again. And again.

Admiring doesn't make you exactly like what you admire, admire yourself and you will be original and exactly how you wish and feel to be.

Try not to be someone else. Be you and be glad you are you
