Summary

This quote sarcastically suggests that composers should not overthink or analyze their work too much as it may hinder their ability to creatively draw inspiration from existing music. It alludes to the idea that some artists may take inspiration from previously composed material, often referred to as "plagiarism." While it is important to acknowledge and give credit to any source of inspiration, the quote playfully implies that a certain level of spontaneity and freedom from excessive mental constraints can lead to unique, artistic creations.
