I just received an email from someone with a cool quote (don't buy it, but cool nonetheless).

"An artist doesn't steal, he borrows."

"Bad poets imitate. Good poets steal." T. S> Eliot certainly picked up many elements of many other sources, but he always used them in such a way as to make them his own.
