You are, in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into your life. You are the sum of your influences. The German writer Goethe said, “We are shaped and
fashioned by what we love.”

Nothing is original
The writer Jonathan Lethem has said that when people call something “original,” nine out of ten times they just don’t know the references or the original sources
involved.
It’s right there in the Bible: “There is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
If we’re free from the burden of trying to be completely original, we can stop trying to make something out of nothing, and we can embrace influence instead
of running away from it.
“What is originality? Undetected plagiarism."
—William Ralph Inge

When you look at the world this way, you stop worrying about what’s “good” and what’s “bad” —there’s only stuff worth stealing, and stuff that’s not worth
stealing.
