“The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity. The inventor did it, because it was natural to him, and so in him it has a charm. In the imitator, something else is natural, and he bereaves himself of his own beauty, to come short of another man's.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Divinity School Address

“Imitation cannot go above its model.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Divinity School Address

“Let me admonish you, first of all, to go alone; to refuse the good models, even those most sacred in the imagination of men, and dare to love God without mediator or veil.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Divinity School Address
