What is well-said by anyone is mine!

 What is well-said by anyone is mine!

Seneca

Letters from a Stoic : pg.21


Steal shamelessly! 

From everyone and mix it

Give credit!But dont hesitate to make use of it! 


And as you do so from multiple sources 

You will

Create your own style 

Read Author!

Authors the Author  read

And Authors the Authors read

And then as you do so

You reach the Source! 

And you do well


Seneca on coveting other’s property : ie., words! 

You need not wonder any genius of mine

For as yet,  I am lavish only with other man’s property!
