Using what is to hand:"Though I try to be original in my writing, I know all too well that there is really nothing new to say. You renew existing truth as it passes through you for the first time and is recycled in your way of expression out of your specific experience. A creative writer's real task is to mask and disguise plagiarism well, and rephrase everlasting wisdom in the currency of the language and metaphors of one's own time. One is always building with used bricks." - Robert Fulghum
