Every man is born an original, but sadly, most men die copies.

Every man is born an original, but sadly, most men die copie

Summary

This quote suggests that every individual is born with their own unique qualities and characteristics. However, as they go through life, the pressure from society and the need to conform often leads them to lose their originality and become mere copies of others. It highlights the importance of staying true to oneself, embracing one's individuality, and resisting the tendency to conform to societal expectations and norms. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder to live authentically and not allow the pressures of conformity to extinguish one's originality and true self.

With the modern diseases (once TB, now cancer) the romantic idea that the disease expresses the character is invariably extended to assert that the character causes the disease -- because it has not expressed itself. Passion moves inward, striking and blighting the deepest cellular recesses.

Jem and Will had set up camp on one of the long tables in the back of the library, ostensibly to help advise her, but more likely, it seemed, to mock and be amused by her consternation. You point your feet out too much when you walk, Will went on. He was busy polishing an apple on his shirtfront, and appeared not to notice Tessa glaring at him. Camille walks delicately. Like a faun in the woods. Not like a duck. I do not walk like a duck. I like ducks, Jem observed diplomatically. Especially the ones in Hyde Park. He glanced sideways at Will; both boys were sitting on the edge of the high table, their legs dangling over the side. Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks? They ate it too, Will reminisced. Bloodthirsty little beasts. Never trust a duck.
