“An original is a creation
motivated by desire.
Any reproduction of an original
is motivated by necessity ...
It is marvelous that we are
the only species that creates
gratuitous forms.
To create is divine, to reproduce
is human.”

“Colleges, in like manner, have their indispensable office,—to teach elements.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
