Copying is about reverse-engineering.
Austin Kleon
Image
Copying all or parts of a program is as natural to a programmer as breathing, and as productive. It ought to be as free.
Richard Stallman
Image
I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I love making, I love doing. I love being to the full, I love everything which is not sitting and watching and copying and dead at heart.
John Fowles
Image
What draws people to the instrument is the love for guitar players that play a certain way. I mean, even though it wasn't intentional, it was hard to avoid copying Eddie Van Halen. He was basically the *bleep* back then.
Tom Morello
Image
Copying or imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Tito Sotto

It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too

I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque

The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.
Frank Gehry
Image
It's a question of not copying the masters, to look for something, good or bad, for oneself. To enter this liberated state of mind, one cannot copy the others.
Nathalie Sarraute
Image
In my early days, I copied the great French chefs, like most chefs do. Copying is not bad. Copying and not recognizing that you are copying is bad. For me, when I go to a restaurant and am served a dish influenced by something we created at elBulli, if it's well done, it makes me extremely happy.
Ferran Adria
Image
Always think that in any area of the arts, you get maybe ten percent of people who are creative, original... and the rest are generally following on, copying.
Hugh Hopper
Image
Imagine you're copying a very long document, and occasionally you'll put an A where there should be a C. And that mistake has been translated down through the generations, and more mistakes have accumulated. So the longer the lineage has been in existence, the more mistakes the sequence is going to have.
Spencer Wells

Never draw anything you can copy, never copy anything you can trace, never trace anything you can cut out and paste up.
Wally Wood
Image
Some of the bigger companies seem to be copying only to make money, which creatively is very bad. I sometimes wonder if they have any respect.
Hiroshi Fujiwara
Image
There are three types of biomimicry - one is copying form and shape, another is copying a process, like photosynthesis in a leaf, and the third is mimicking at an ecosystem's level, like building a nature-inspired city.
Janine Benyus
Image
Is it not dangerous to have students study together for years, copying the same models and approximately the same path?
Theodore Gericault
Image
If I created a new depravity I would be a priestess, while my imitators would founder, after my reign, in abominable filth...Don't you think that proud men, copying Satan, are more guilty than the Satan of the Bible, who invented pride? Is Satan not respectable because of his unprecedented and divinely inspired sin?
Rachilde
Image
Out in the sun, some painters are lined up. The first is copying nature, the second is copying the first, the third is copying the second... You see the sequence.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species. We err in copying the lower animal world if we are superior to it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Similarly, anyone who wishes to understand the mind of the sacred writers must first cleanse his own life, and approach the saints by copying their deeds.
Athanasius of Alexandria
Image
I looked long and carefully at the picture of a stag painted by Landseer - the style was good, and the brush was handled with fine effect, but he fails in copying Nature, without which the best work will be a failure.
John James Audubon
Image
When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.
