Original Composition

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or composition:

    We are obliged to regard many of our original minds as crazy at least until we have become as clever as they are.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    It is my PRIDE, my damn’d, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19-20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such;Mor DIE—perplexing alternative!
    Thomas Chatterton (1752–1770)
