Description
""Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.""— Jim Jarmusch
One of my favorite quotes of all time. Nothing is more true.
As Picasso once said "Good Artists Copy. Great Artists Steal."

I really love this quote. This is totally true. Everything that we do has already (or mostly x,D), been done, it's really hard to come up with original ideas. But if you put your heart in it, they can become more powerfull and unique (even if I think nobody is unique here, but that's another problem... xD) Nice work. o/
