“Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. So said Voltaire, the realist.” “You agree with that?” “Everything has boundaries. The same holds true with thought. You shouldn’t fear boundaries, but you also should not be afraid of destroying them. That’s what is most important if you want to be free: respect for and exasperation with boundaries.”
― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
