If you fail in copying from a master you succeed in birthing an original art.

Kushal Poddar, Poet

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.

Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing

Forge your iron; shape it by force,
not into a flower you already know
but into what can also be a flower
if you think it is and it is so.

I do not trust the truth. It shifts into reality.

Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.
